"The Fall of the First British Empire" takes an often
controversial view of British imperial policy in the age of the
American Revolution, one that challenges long-held assumptions
about the causes of America's war for independence.
In dealing with the origins of the conflict that led to
Britain's loss of America, Robert W. Tucker and David C.
Hendrickson place considerable emphasis on the relationship between
the Seven Years' War and the difficulties between Britain and
America in its immediate aftermath. They also examine the nature of
the imperial-colonial relationship as it existed in 1763,
challenging the widespread view that there was a well-defined
status quo and that a new view of empire led the British to oppose
it. In addition, they similarly question conventional accounts of
British policy from the Stamp Act crisis to the decision for war in
1775.
