Lunch & Learn: 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘎𝘦𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘦 𝘐𝘐𝘐 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘏𝘪𝘴 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘦𝘴 by Dr. Patrick Allitt

Описание: The Declaration of Independence describes King George III as a horrible tyrant. Was he really that bad? Professor Allitt, an Englishman who has spent his life teaching American history, shows that King George was a complex figure and that the American Revolution looked very different from his perspective on the other side of the Atlantic.
