SUMMARY:Book Group and Themed Meal - Bunker Hill: A City\, A Siege\, A Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Book Group and Themed Meal – Bunker Hill: A City\, A Siege\, A Revolution (book is by Nathaniel Philbrick).  The Holyoke Senior Center Book Club and Holyoke Preservation Trust are excited to invite you to an American-themed lunch and discussion of Nathaniel Philbrick’s Bunker Hill: A City\, A Siege\, A Revolution.  Join us on Wednesday July 8 2026 from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM.  Tickets are $3 for those over 60 and $6 for those under 60.  Tickets are available at the link.  ” \nBook Description: \nIn the opening volume of his acclaimed American Revolution series\, Nathaniel Philbrick turns his keen eye to pre-Revolutionary Boston and the spark that ignited the American Revolution. In the aftermath of the Boston Tea Party and the violence at Lexington and Concord\, the conflict escalated and skirmishes gave way to outright war in the Battle of Bunker Hill. It was the bloodiest conflict of the revolutionary war\, and the point of no return for the rebellious colonists. Philbrick gives us a fresh view of the story and its dynamic personalities\, including John Adams\, Samuel Adams\, John Hancock\, Paul Revere\, and George Washington. With passion and insight\, he reconstructs the revolutionary landscape—geographic and ideological—in a mesmerizing narrative of the robust\, messy\, blisteringly real origins of America.”
