The bestselling author of In the Heart of the Sea, Valiant Ambition, and In the Hurricane's Eye tells the story of the Boston battle that ignited the American Revolution, in this "masterpiece of narrative and perspective." (Boston Globe)

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 fianc 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.

LOVE this blanket hoodie!!
Color: Grey, Size: Standard
I’ve been using my Blanket Hoodie mainly while working at home and relaxing in the evenings. It’s exceptionally soft and warm! Pros: • Thick, cozy sherpa material that keeps me warm without feeling heavy • Good length • Comfortable enough to wear during long TV binges or while I'm at my computer working from home! Cons: • Hood is roomy and shifts around a bit • Sleeves are slightly This hoodie is a solid choice if you want something warmer than a typical sweatshirt. I might try a different size next time for a better sleeve fit, but I would recommend this for anyone who gets cold easily.

Great gifts for grandkids
Color: Olive Green, Size: Small
We bought eight wearable blanket hoodies for our grandkids that were 12 and younger. Each child got a different color and design that we picked to match their personalities and preferred toy or activities. They were everyone’s favorite Christmas gift (December 2025). A month later I they are still wearing them everywhere because the are fun and comfortable. They use them indoors and out as they are warm enough to replace a jacket or heavy sweat shirt but not too warm for indoor. Did not have any quality issues with any of them. They are designed to be roomy with sleeves that will cover their hands if they want but they have a cuff to keep them off their hands when they want. The two available sizes worked with everyone from 3 years old to 12 years old.

Very very soft & super duper warm
Color: Grey, Size: Standard
So soft & comfy. I LOVE IT! I had another brand before this one and it wasn’t nearly as soft or as thick as this one. When I’m freezing & everyone else is not it saves the day. I can go outside when it’s cold and not feel like I’m dying from the cold like usual. You will warm up fast BUT I have to come out of it shortly after putting it on. I can’t wear it long term inside unless I turn the heat WAY down

Well worth the price.
Color: Sky Blue, Size: Standard
As advertised. This Blanket is an oversized hoodie, well designed for you to lounge in, to sleep in, to live in as you stay warm in a cold world! Cozy as a hug and comfortable enough to spend the night in without overheating or suffocating, this wearable blanket is a winner on many fronts. It is attractive and well constructed as I have found other Bedsure products to be. It is heavy enough to help you stay put in your warm cocoon and enjoy your downtime warmly. It is more luxurious than the price would lead you to believe it could be. Much to enjoy. Try it!
