The Blood of Patriots and Tyrants: Creating a Nation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781956228113)

Will the colonies lose everything they fought for? Confronted with economic collapse and near anarchy, who can save the union? Will freedom be just a new tyranny?

Three destitute young men must find their fortunes amidst squabbling colonies that can't determine how to govern. They can barely feed and clothe themselves, with no money to be found anywhere, in addition to having to face bad weather, epidemics, thieves, and cut-throats, confronting them at every turn.

Will competing parties with fears of monarchy and fears of anarchy ever be able to compromise enough to develop a stable government in which our young men can flourish?
