In 1775, the shot heard round the world still echoed in the ears of Parliament, as Americans took up arms for and against King and country. Here the author of Igniting the American Revolution: 1773-1775 continues his exploration into the period preceding the Declaration of Independence, with soldiers'-eye-views of the Battle of Bunker Hill, the Boston Campaign, and the snowy, wind-swept march to Quebec. Using new material drawn from letters and diaries, Derek Beck reveals little-known triumphs and tribulations of America's military leaders, including George Washington.
