A masterful new history of the first real battle of the Revolutionary War.
If Lexington and Concord was the shot heard around the world, then Bunker Hill was the volley that rocked Parliament and the ministry of George III. The Battle of Bunker Hill was the first time that a genuine American army had ever taken the field. Just as David McCullough’s 1776 did for the fighting in New York and David Hackett Fischer’s Washington’s Crossing did for the Battles of Trenton and Princeton, With Fire and Sword reveals the dramatic story of the fight that changed the face of the Revolution.
