A War of Religion cover

Examines the controversial establishment of the first Anglican Church in Boston in 1686, and how later, political leaders John Adams, Samuel Adams, and John Wilkes exploited the disputes as political dynamite together with taxation, trade, and the quartering of troops: topics which John Adams later recalled as causes of the American Revolution.

'...an original and interesting study...Anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the complex history that lies beneath the usual platitudes about the founding of the United States and of the Anglican Communion would benefit from reading it.' - Canon Maltby, Church Times
