Nathaniel Philbrick is an award-winning historian and National Book Award winner known for his ability to weave exhaustive research into gripping maritime and colonial narratives. In this book, he chronicles the volatile transition from colonial unrest to full-scale rebellion by focusing on the bloody 1775 battle and its impact on the city of Boston. The book explores the chaotic reality of the conflict that transformed a localized protest into a national war. Ultimately, Philbrick argues that the carnage at Bunker Hill was the definitive turning point that proved the American colonists were committed to a long and costly struggle for independence.
