This is a fascinating account of how incidents at Lexington & Concord and Bunker Hill [actually Breed's Hill] morph into a war for independence. By including details about individuals and blow-by-blow moments in the battles, Philbrick leads the reader to a greater understanding of the motivations of the New England patriots, the conflicting ambitions, and the chaos that reigned at Breed's Hill and after.
