    Join us for this Special Book Launch Celebration! On the evening of December 16, 1773, a group of disguised Bostonians boarded three merchant ships and dumped more than forty-six tons of tea into Boston Harbor. The Boston Tea Party was a daring and revolutionary act that set the stage for war. Professor Benjamin Carp of Tufts University unveils a full story of the Tea Party—exploding myths, exploring the unique city life of Boston, and setting this extraordinary event in a global context for the first time. Come hear how a determined group shook the foundations of a mighty empire, and what this iconic event has meant for Americans since. Book sales and signing to follow
