Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an examination of the British colonial policy in the years leading up to the Revolution, with a particular focus on the ways in which that policy affected the American colonies. It is argued that British policy was fundamentally unfair to the colonies, and that the colonists' desire to escape from it was a major factor in the outbreak of the war. The author draws on extensive research to support his arguments, and the book offers a fresh perspective on the causes of the Revolution. In addition to its historical analysis, the book also provides a broader discussion of the nature of empire and the rights of self-government. Given its insightful approach, the book is sure to be of interest to students of American history and anyone interested in the dynamics of imperialism.
