Summary

Bunker Hill : A City, a Siege, a Revolution


A New York Times Bestselling Author, A Pulitzer Prize- finalist and National Book Award- winning Author -- Boston in 1775 is an island city occupied by British troops after a series of incendiary incidents by patriots. After the Boston Tea Party, soldiers and residents warily maneuver around each other until violence finally erupts at Lexington and Concord. In June, skirmishes give way to outright war in the Battle of Bunker Hill, the bloodiest battle and the point of no return in the American Revolution. Philbrick brings a fresh perspective to every aspect of the story.
