In The Infamous Boston Massacre, Robert Smith vividly reconstructs one of the most pivotal and controversial events leading up to the American Revolution. Through meticulous research and engaging narrative, Smith brings to life the tension between British soldiers and Boston colonists that erupted in violence on March 5, 1770. Part of the America in the Making series, this historical account doesn’t merely recount the bloodshed—it delves into the political and social pressures that made such a confrontation inevitable. Smith presents multiple perspectives, weaving in voices of witnesses, agitators, and soldiers, offering a nuanced portrait of a city on the brink of rebellion. The striking cover art mirrors the chaotic, emotionally charged nature of the event, making this a compelling read for students, historians, and anyone interested in the roots of American independence. A valuable addition to any collection focused on early American history, civic unrest, or Revolutionary causes.
