Boston was at the heart of the unrest which led to the American Revolution. One of the best books that I have recently read on the subject was Paul Revere and the World He Lived In by Esther Forbes, which won a Pulitzer Prize, by the way. It was extremely readable and well-researched. There have been many biographies of late on the Founding Fathers but pre-revolutionaries like Hancock, Adams and Otis among others who threw the pebbles that started this avalanche have largely been ignored. What a pity!!!
