What lights the spark that ignites a revolution? What was it that, in 1775, provoked a group of merchants, farmers, artisans and mariners in the American colonies to unite and take up arms against the British government in pursuit of liberty? Nathaniel Philbrick, the acclaimed historian and bestselling author of In the Heart of the Sea and The Last Stand, shines new and brilliant light on the momentous beginnings of the American Revolution, and those individuals – familiar and unknown, and from both sides – who played such a vital part in the early days of the conflict that would culminate in the defining Battle of Bunker Hill. Written with passion and insight, even-handedness and the eloquence of a born storyteller, Bunker Hill brings to life the robust, chaotic and blisteringly real origins of America.

My first collision with fame was hardly memorable. I was a busboy at Marx's Deli. The year was 1934. The place was Third and Hill, Los Angeles. I was twenty-one years old, living in a world bounded on the west by Bunker Hill, on the east by Los Angeles Street, on the south by Pershing Square, and on the north by Civic Center. I was a busboy nonpareil, with great verve and style for the profession, and though I was dreadfully underpaid (one dollar a day plus meals) I attracted considerable attention as I whirled from table to table, balancing a tray on one hand, and eliciting smiles from my customers. I had something else beside a waiter's skill to offer my patrons, for I was also a writer.

Fifty years ago, reviewers across America hailed "Now We Are Enemies" as a masterpiece. It still remains the most complete account of the clash that changed the course of America history¿the battle of Bunker Hill. It was the first book about the battle in almost 100 years¿and it marked the emergence of an author who has become widely acknowledged as the best historian of the American Revolution writing today. American History Press is proud to be offering this special fiftieth anniversary edition of this classic work. The book¿s readability was¿and still is¿vividly clear from the opening pages.

There are pages rich in courage¿and laden with heartbreak. ¿For God¿s sake spare that man!¿ shouts Colonel Israel Putnam as his men take deadly aim at a British officer. ¿I love him as a brother!¿ The British commander, General William Howe, stares numbly at his shattered bleeding ranks and experiences ¿a moment I never felt before.¿ There is only one word for such history: unforgettable.
