The author meticulously reconstructs the events of this audacious act, exploring the tensions leading up to it, the motivations of the participants, and the immediate consequences.

This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the early stages of the revolutionary spirit, exploring the events that helped set the stage for the coming conflict with Britain.
