Publisher's Synopsis
In SEVEN DAYS IN JUNE, Howard Fast provides insight into both American and British points of view during the battle for control of Boston in June 1775, the outcome of which would dramatically influence the strategies of George Washington and Sir William Howe for the rest of the war. Most dramatic of all is the battle for Breed's and Bunker Hills: On one side, a few hundred American men and boys, fighting in the fashion they learned from the American Indians; on the other, three thousand soldiers of the mightiest army on Earth. What follows is one of the bloodiest battles of the American Revolution. There, for a moment in time, the American rebels turned back Europe's best-trained soldiers before they were forced to flee.
