The Stamp Act Crisis: Prologue to Revolution
'Impressive! . . . The authors have given us a searching account of the crisis and provided some memorable portraits of officials in America impaled on the dilemma of having to enforce a measure which they themselves opposed.' — New York Times
'A brilliant contribution to the colonial field. Combining great industry, astute scholarship, and a vivid style, the authors have sought 'to recreate two years of American history.' They have succeeded admirably.' — William and Mary Quarterly
'Required reading for anyone interested in those eventful years preceding the American Revolution.' — Political Science Quarterly
The Stamp Act, the first direct tax on the American colonies, provoked an immediate and violent response.
