1775: The People's Revolution: The Definitive History for the 250th Anniversary
The war for independence didn't start with generals. It started with farmers.
As the nation commemorates the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution, peel back the layers of myth to uncover the terrifying, inspiring truth of the conflict's first year.
This is the essential, ground-up history of 1775, detailing the chaos of the Siege of Boston, the brutality of Bunker Hill, and the desperate hours of Lexington and Concord. Unlike standard histories, this book places the focus squarely on the individuals who made the first, irreversible choices -- the blacksmiths, the doctors, and the messengers who risked summary execution to sound the alarm.
Beyond the Generals: The Ordinary Americans Who Ignited the War
• Meet Captain John Parker, the farmer who ordered his men to "Stand your ground" at Lexington Green.
• Ride with Dr. Joseph Warren as he orchestrates the midnight alarm that sparked the war.
• Discover the crucial role of Colonel William Prescott, whose leadership held the line at Breed's Hill against the world's greatest army.
• Follow Henry Knox's impossible mission to transport the heavy artillery needed to break the Siege of Boston.
From the mud-caked boots of the Minutemen to the spies hidden in plain sight, 1775: The People's Revolution reveals the individual acts of defiance that created a new world. If you want to understand how a ragtag militia trapped an empire, this is the book you need.
