If Lexington and Concord was the "shot heard round the world," the Battle of Bunker Hill - the first time that a genuine American army had ever taken the field - was the volley that rocked Parliament and the ministry of George III. With Fire and Sword reveals the dramatic story of a fight that changed the face of the Revolution.
