Making Haste from Babylon by Nick Bunker

Reading this book is likely to make many readers realize that there is a lot more to the history of the Pilgrims than is commonly understood. As someone whose life history deals deeply with the same complicated set of events as that discussed in this history, this book takes on a personal relevance and deep and melancholy resonance to me that it may not take on for other readers. Making Haste From Babylon: The Mayflower Pilgrims And Their World: A New History, by Nick BunkerĪs someone whose complicated family history includes some of the separatists who arrived in Plymouth before the founding of Boston as well as a large amount of people involved in serious Protestant religious activity as well as subversive and revolutionary political activity throughout Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries, along with their consequences in places as far apart as Germany, Northern Ireland and the British American colonies, this is a book that speaks more than about matters of national and cultural history but also about matters of great personal interest that helped to shape and form my own personal story and my own complicated approaches to matters of religion, politics, and business.
