245 years ago today!

Although I didn’t use this in my book, I researched the trial of the soldiers charged in the Boston Massacre and wrote this dramatization. It is told from a 3rd person point of view (different from the book where Nicholas provides descriptions in his own words).

In another instance of how similar our culture has remained over the centuries, I was struck by how important legal technicalities were even in 1770 and how hard both the British and the Americans worked to shape public impressions. “Controlling the narrative” was just as important then as now, possibly even more so.

Any comments on this or other issues related to the book or recent publicity are welcome.
