Book excerpt: The bestselling 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) 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. 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. It was the bloodiest conflict of the revolutionary war, and the point of no return for the rebellious colonists. 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. 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.

Book excerpt: A masterful history of the first set-piece battle of the Revolutionary War, James L. Nelson's WithFire and Sword offers critical new insights into one of the most important actions of our country's founding. On June 17, 1775, the entire dynamic of the newborn American Revolution was changed. If the Battle of Lexington and Concord was, in the immortal words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, the "shot heard round the world," Bunker Hill was the volley that rocked Britain's Parliament and the ministry of King George III to its core. The Battle of Bunker Hill was the first hostile engagement of the Revolution between two organized armies, and the first time that a genuine American army had ever taken the field. It gave the British their first inkling that the Colonial rabble-in-arms they had envisioned might actually prove to be a formidable fighting force. In this book, award-winning author James L. Nelson tells the exciting and dramatic story of the fight that changed the face of the American Revolution. He looks at the events leading up to that fateful day, the personalities on both the British and American sides who made momentous decisions, and the bloody outcome of those crucial choices, which would affect the British strategy on the battlefield throughout the coming six more years of active warfare.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bunker Hill: The Story Told in Letters From the Battle Field by British Officers Engaged "Borne over the Atlantic, to the closing ear of Louis, King by the grace of God, what sounds are these; muffled, ominous, new in our centuries? Boston Harbor is black with unexpected Tea; behold a Pennsylvanian Congress gather; and ere long, on Bunker Hill, Democracy announcing, in rifle-volleys death-winged, under her Star Banner, to the tune of Yankee-doodle-doo, that she is born, and, whirlwind-like, will envelop the whole world!" - Carlyle. The story of the battle of Bunker Hill has been told until it has become more familiar to American readers than Marathon or Waterloo. No subsequent field of the War for Independence possesses an equal interest with this first and fiercest grapple for the mastery. The unparalleled audacity of the seizure of the heights of Charlestown, in the presence of a numerous and powerful army and fleet; the unflinching firmness with which the Americans awaited the attack; the terrible loss inflicted on the enemy, unexampled on any later battle-field of the Revolution; and, finally, the curious spectacle of undisciplined yeomanry, without a leader known and respected as such, contesting with a veteran army and experienced officers, are marked features that at once suggest themselves to the student of the battle, and have rendered it for all time a memorable deed of arms.
