Bunker Hill: A City, a Siege, a Revolution
by Nathaniel Philbrick
Philbrick has painted an incredible portrait of the first battles of the American Revolution. Free of imaginary anecdotes and patriotic bravado, this book shows the true heroism of the farmers, merchants and proffesionals who fired the first shots of the war. At the lead is Dr. Joseph Warren, a flawed but ingenious man who, by sheer force of will and personality, convinced a city and then the 13 colonies to take on the might of the most powerful kingdom on the planet. Simply because they felt their rights were taken away. Not to start a country or expel the British from the continent. Fascinating work and highly recommended.
