Books
I’ve written three books; you can find out about them here.
The Revolutionary Paul Revere
The Revolutionary Paul Revere starts at a gallop and never slows down. The narrative follows Revere’s adventure-filled life from childhood through the French and Indian War; from the prerevolutionary economic disasters through the incendiary tax fights and riots; from military occupation of Boston through Revere’s part in the Boston Massacre trial; from his role in the Boston Tea Party through his early service as express rider for the Massachusetts patriots; from the tragic death of his first wife through the whimsical pursuit of a new love; from his role as waterfront spy through his famous midnight ride; from his participation in the worst American naval disaster before Pearl Harbor through his eventual vindication.
Page by page, readers learn about Revere’s life in the Freemasons and the secret political clubs of Boston; discover his role in Massachusetts’ ratification of the U.S. Constitution; get the inside picture of his business dealings; and see how he transformed himself from poor artisan to wealthy industrialist, making everything from kettles to cannons. The Revolutionary Paul Revere tells the quintessential American story.

Bad Trip: How the War Against Drugs is Destroying America
The war against drugs was supposed to make America better, but it failed. Not only does it fail to keep Americans from using drugs, but its implementation produces bigger problems than it promises to solve. Bad Trip demonstrates that drug prohibition worsens crime and corruption, finances terrorists, makes a mockery of U.S. border security, erodes civil liberties, militarizes police, and jails hundreds of thousands of Americans. Miller reveals the true and terrible side effects of America’s drug war and informs readers about how to kick the drug-war habit.
