Bunker Hill: A City, A Siege, A Revolution

I live in Boston. This book was enlightening. Not just about the battle of Bunker Hill, but all the personalities of the revolution. Dr. Joseph Warren, who dies in the battle could have been one of our most important founding fathers. The description of the battle of Lexington and Concord is revealed to be a harrowing and bloody ongoing series of skirmishes as small bands of Regulars try to get back to Boston. It wasn't like you were taught - rebel colonist firing from behind trees and walls while the Regulars marched along. So far, my favorite book of 2019.

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.

I like historic true story and this author capture my attention,when I read "mayflower" and " In the heart of the sea" I felt I was transported in time in the story...I will read this book.
