As John Adams would later remember, \"On that night the formation of American independence was born.\" Yet when the British soldiers faced trial, the young lawyer Adams was determined that they receive a fair one. He volunteered to represent them, keeping the peace in a powder keg of a colony, and in the process created some of the foundations of what would become United States law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestselling authors Dan Abrams and David Fisher draw on the trial transcript, using Adams's own words to transport readers to colonial Boston, a city roiling with rebellion, where British military forces and American colonists lived side by side, waiting for the spark that would start a war.","brand":"Harlequin Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49373229089072,"sku":"BDdjsl","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49373229941040,"sku":"ZEdjsl","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49373229973808,"sku":"ZMdjsl","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/djsl-Square-cover.jpg?v=1778019355","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-djsl","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
