For the first time, bestselling historian Peter Moore vividly traces the transatlantic friendships and revolutionary ideas that inspired the Declaration of Independence.   'Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness' is the best-known phrase from that document, which was drafted by Thomas Jefferson in the summer of 1776.\r\n\r\n Today this line is evoked as a shorthand for that ideal we call the American Dream. But the vision it encapsulates - of a free and happy world - has its roots in Great Britain.   This book tells the story of the years that preceded the Declaration.\r\n\r\n From the accession of King George III to the astonishing tale of John Wilkes, from the notorious Stamp Act to the Boston Tea Party, it shows how Britain and her American Colonies broke apart. Following a star cast of Enlightenment characters, through their letters, arguments and rivalries, it reveals the rise of a rebellious and daring ideology - one that gave rise to the democratic birth of the United States and the principles we live by to this day.
