Description

"In this first modern political biography of Bernard, Colin Nicolson reappraises his significant role in shaping the course of events that led to the outbreak of the American Revolution. Based on extensive documentary research, Nicolson reexamines Bernard's relations with colonial factions and the imperial elite, his attempts to enforce Parliamentary authority, and his influence on British government policymaking. He shows how Bernard undermined British-colonial relations on the eve of the Revolution and effectively set the stage for war."--BOOK JACKET.
