The Boston Massacre: a family history by Serena Zabin

The story of the Boston Massacre—when on a late winter evening in 1770, British soldiers shot five local men to death—is familiar to generations. But from the very beginning, many accounts have obscured a fascinating the Massacre arose from conflicts that were as personal as they were political. Professor Serena Zabin draws on original sources and lively stories to  deliver an indelible new slant on iconic American Revolutionary history.

The History Book Club is self-run by the members. Copies of the book are available at the Service Desk.
