The redcoats were really no match then, were they? I'm never disappointed when I read a Philbrick book. People like (Dr.) Warren, and Church, Washington and Adams as well as countless other took on the 18th century just as ardent as the themselves. Philbrick has overturned to give us the story behind Bunker Hill and the hardships the American Patriots overcame to become the United States. My God! How did we ever make it as a race let alone a country? That little tie bit is just a taste of some of the rocks Mr. With passion and insight, he reconstructs the revolutionary landscape - geographic and ideological - in a mesmerizing narrative of the robust, messy, blisteringly real origins of America. Philbrick gives us a fresh view of the story and its dynamic personalities, including John Adams, Samuel Adams, John Hancock, Paul Revere, and George Washington.

It was the bloodiest conflict of the revolutionary war, and the point of no return for the rebellious colonists.

In the aftermath of the Boston Tea Party and the violence at Lexington and Concord, the conflict escalated and skirmishes gave way to outright war in the Battle of Bunker Hill. In the opening volume of his acclaimed American Revolution series, Nathaniel Philbrick turns his keen eye to pre-Revolutionary Boston and the spark that ignited the American Revolution. The best-selling author of In the Heart of the Sea, Mayflower, and In the Hurricane's Eye tells the story of the Boston battle that ignited the American Revolution, in this 'masterpiece of narrative and perspective' ( Boston Globe).
