A free book launch celebrating the publication of 'How We Lost America: A New Perspective on American Independence'. The book, published by Aurora Metro Books and presented by Aurora Metro Arts & Media with The National Lottery Heritage Fund, explores the events leading up to the American War of Independence and its aftermath. With contributions from historians, journalists and artists, it delves into hidden histories of underrepresented individuals, from British politicians and dissenters to enslaved people and women revolutionaries.
