    Between 1765 to 1791, the American Revolution was an ideological and political revolution in British America. In the American Revolutionary War (between 1775 to 1783), the Americans in the Thirteen Groups established sovereign countries that beat the British, getting independence from the British Crown and establishing the USA of America, the first modern-day constitutional liberal democracy. 
    The tax of American settlers by the British Parliament, a body in which they had no direct representation, provided contention. Before the 1760s, Britain's American groups kept a great degree of internal autonomy, which was managed by colonist legislatures on a regional level. The Stamp Act of 1765 enforced internal taxes on the groups, leading to colonist outrage and the development of the Stamp Act Congress, which united members from different provinces. Stress reduced after the British rescinded the Stamp Act but flared again when the Townshend Acts were passed in the year 1767. In the year 1768, the British federal government dispatched soldiers to Boston to stop discontent, which led to the Boston Massacre in the year 1770. 
    This is the book you would have to read to learn more about the American Revolution. Go ahead and continue.

    25 Million Sparks takes readers inside the Za’atari refugee camp to follow the stories of three courageous Syrian women entrepreneurs: Yasmina, a wedding shop and salon owner creating moments of celebration in Za’atari; Malak, a young artist infusing color and beauty in her adoptive community; and Asma, a social entrepreneur with a storytelling initiative enriching children’s lives throughout the camp. Anchored by these three inspiring stories, as well as accompanying artwork and poetry created by Malak and Asma, the narrative expands from the intimacies of Za’atari to explore the broader refugee entrepreneurship phenomenon in more than 20 camps, cities, and towns across the globe. What emerges is a tale of power, determination, and dignity – of lighting the brightest sparks of joy, even when the rest of the world sees only the darkness.

    How is the baton of experience passed from generation to generation? What is transmitted? Ardyn Halter explores the legacy of his late father Roman Halter's experiences of the Holocaust. What is received by the "Second Generation" and how can it be expressed in language or art? A journey to Rwanda to complete a commission to commemorate the Rwandan genocide, and a journey to Poland. The Fire and the Bonfire reveals a close - though also difficult - father-son relationship and explores genocide through art, which leads to unexpected discoveries. 
    "This is a book that needs to be read more than once. Ardyn Halter has written about an agonizingly difficult subject with a painter's eye, a novelist's sense of pace and suspense, a philosophical mind - and he has done it superbly." - Hillel Halkin 
    "...this is powerful. Raw and incredibly sad. Your clear eye and honesty had me gasping for breath at times." - Fergal Keane  
    "A hugely eloquent, painfully honest and insightful text... A work of art to be savoured in its own right." - Monica Bohm-Duchen
