Did Britain Really Lose America Over a Cup of Tea?

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

Forget the storybook version of the American Revolution where a few pennies in taxes sparked a war for liberty; the real story is a 1770s corporate thriller about a 'too big to fail' bailout. This two-part investigative narrative pulls back the curtain on the British Empire’s biggest blunder: trying to save the nearly bankrupt East India Company by forcing its surplus inventory onto a captive American market. From the backroom cronyism of the London stock market to the defiant docks of Boston, HK Sparks proves that Britain didn’t lose the colonies because of a tax hike—they lost them because they treated a sovereign people like a dumping ground for a failing corporate monopoly.
