Blades of Liberty: the Founding of the United States

The blood of the Boston Massacre of 1770 was still fresh, and the fury of the Tea Party of 1773 arose again. When the Parliament of London passed the Coercion Act, pushing Massachusetts into the abyss of military rule, the Thirteen Colonies stood at a crossroads of history: Live on your knees, or die standing? This book uses a narrative style familiar to Chinese people to paint a panoramic picture of the grand picture on the eve of the North American War of Independence. From the power chambers of London to the underground wine cellars of Boston; from the silent awakening of a Virginia manor to the collaboration of the Continental Congress in Philadelphia. Adams's political skills, Washington's cold determination, Henry's shocking roar, Revere's midnight ride, how a group of people who were unwilling to be slaves tempered the blade of freedom under the iron curtain of the empire and wrote the word "America" ​​into history for the first time. The first volume, "Wind Across the Atlantic," begins with the Boston Massacre and ends with the gunfire in Lexington. Five years of anger and tempering finally turned into a flash of light that tore through the long night on a spring dawn.
