Nonetheless, John Adams called the Boston Tea Party nothing short of "magnificent," saying that "it must have important consequences."Combining stellar scholarship with action-packed history, Harlow Giles Unger reveals the truth behind the legendary event and examines its lasting consequence--the spawning of a new, independent nation.
