the Sea and Mayflower, brings his prodigious talents to the story
of the Boston battle that ignited the American Revolution.
Boston in 1775 is an island city occupied by British troops
after a series of incendiary incidents by patriots who range from
sober citizens to thuggish vigilantes. After the Boston Tea Party,
British and American soldiers and Massachusetts residents
have warily maneuvered around each other until April 19, when
violence finally erupts at Lexington and Concord. In June,
however, with the city cut off from supplies by a British blockade
and Patriot militia poised in siege, skirmishes give way to
outright war in the Battle of Bunker Hill. It would be the
bloodiest battle of the Revolution to come, and the point of no
return for the rebellious colonists.
Philbrick brings a fresh perspective to every aspect of the
story. He finds new characters, and new facets to familiar ones.
The real work of choreographing rebellion falls to a thirty-three
year old physician named Joseph Warren who emerges as the
on-the-ground leader of the Patriot cause and is fated to die at
Bunker Hill. Others in the cast include Paul Revere, Warren’s
fiancé the poet Mercy Scollay, a newly recruited George Washington,
the reluctant British combatant General Thomas Gage and his more
bellicose successor William Howe, who leads the three charges at
Bunker Hill and presides over the claustrophobic cauldron of a city
under siege as both sides play a nervy game of brinkmanship for
control.
With passion and insight, Philbrick reconstructs the
revolutionary landscape—geographic and ideological—in a mesmerizing
narrative of the robust, messy, blisteringly real origins of
America.
