註釋Richard Lee Bradshaws well-received first book, Gods Battleaxe, the Life of Lord President Bradshawe, told the little-known story of a 17th century Englishman who rebelled against his King in defense of liberty. In this second book Bradshaw tells the story of an 18th century English politician observing the day-to-day unraveling of Britains control over their North American Colonies. As his countrys policies fail his own life and fortune spins out of control leading ultimately to his suicide on the eve of the American War of Independence. Townshends colonial taxation policies are refused and once again Englishmen rebel against their King in defense of Liberty. Americans fourteenth Colony is proposed, chartered, and then lost, leaving behind the disappointed ambitions of The Lord Chamberlain of England, The Lord Chancellor, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Bradshaw the subject of this biography.
