As If an Enemy's Country is Richard Archer's gripping narrative of those critical months between October 1, 1768 and the winter of 1770 when Boston was an occupied town. Bringing colonial Boston to life, Archer deftly moves between the governor's mansion and cobblestoned back-alleys as he traces the origins of the colonists' conflict with Britain.Pivotal moments in American history.Boston (Mass.)HistoryColonial period, ca. 1600-1775United StatesHistoryRevolution, 1775-1783Causes973.3113Archer Richard1941-1688215MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811164503321As if an enemy's country4062280UNINA
