http://www.politics-prose.com/book/9780525426783 Philbrick’s acclaimed narrative histories include In the Heart of the Sea, winner of the National Book Award—and the basis for the recent Ron Howard film—Mayflower, awarded the Massachusetts Book Award, and most recently, Bunker Hill, honored with the New England Book Award. In his fourteenth book, Philbrick focuses on the Revolutionary War, recreating the revolt through the experiences of George Washington and Benedict Arnold, whose strained relationship itself became a tense battleground when Arnold began to harbor resentments and lose his patriotic fervor, and Washington came to suspect that not all the enemies were outside his forces. Founded by Carla Cohen and Barbara Meade in 1984, Politics & Prose Bookstore is Washington, D.C.'s pre...
In September 1776, the vulnerable Continental Army under an unsure George Washington (who had never commanded a large force in battle) evacuates New York after a devastating defeat by the British Army. Three weeks later, near the Canadian border, one of his favorite generals, Benedict Arnold, miraculously succeeds in postponing the British naval advance down Lake Champlain that might have ended the war. Four years later, as the book ends, Washington has vanquished his demons and Arnold has fled to the enemy after a foiled attempt to surrender the American fortress at West Point to the British. After four years of war, America is forced to realize that the real threat to its liberties might not come from without but from within. Valiant Ambition is a complex, controversial, and dramatic po...
This event was filmed at Politics & Prose Bookstore in Washington, D.C., on May 15, 2013. More information is available at http://www. politics-prose.com/event/book/nathaniel-philbrick-bunker-hill-city-siege-revolution One of our foremost historians, Philbrick is also a powerful storyteller. In his new book the author of the bestselling Mayflower takes us back to the tense summer of 1775, when a series of incidents between British soldiers and colonists made it clear that full-scale battle was imminent. Violence at Lexington and Concord soon led to the legendary Battle of Bunker Hill—the bloodiest firefight of the Revolution.
This is an interview between the Director of the Fred W. Smith National Library, Dr. Douglas Bradburn and author Nathaniel Philbrick, on his book based on the Revolutionary War entitled: Valiant Ambition.
In his latest book, Nathaniel Philbrick, author of In the Heart of the Sea and Mayflower, convincingly explains why one should read Herman Melville's intimidating Great American Novel. Available from Viking October 24, 2011.

Author Nathaniel Philbrick, Bunker Hill: A City, a Siege, a Revolution tells the story of Boston in 1775. It's an island city occupied by British troops after a series of incendiary incidents by patriots who range from sober citizens to thuggish vigilantes. On April 19, violence erupts at Lexington and Concord. But it was in June that 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. "What many people don't realize is that in the beginning even the patriots didn't want independence. What they were looking for was greater representation. ... In fact, they claimed to be loyal to King George. It was Parliament they were against." -Nathaniel Philbrick
