Bunker Hill: A City, a Siege, a Revolution by Nathaniel Philbrick

3.0

I liked some of this, maybe even much of this, but I found manyof the same issues as other reviewers, namely that the book seems to lack focus -- a bit like catchall for everything from before Lexington through the conclusion of the Boston siege. I'm surprised that nobody in the publishing process thought to change the title, which is a bit misleading to readers. Yes, this book is about Bunker Hill in the sense that Bunker Hill is covered, but so are numerous other events to the same -- arguably even greater -- depth.
Still, worth a read if you are interested in this period of American history, but just know that this is not an in-depth an expansive piece focused on Bunker Hill.
