How did America begin? That simple question launches the acclaimed author of In the Hurricane’s EyeandValiant Ambitionon an extraordinary journey to understand the truth behind our most sacred national myth: the voyage of theMayflowerand the settlement of Plymouth Colony. As Philbrick reveals in this electrifying history of the Pilgrims, the story of Plymouth Colony was a fifty-five year epic that began in peril and ended in war. New England erupted into a bloody conflict that nearly wiped out the English colonists and natives alike. These events shaped the existing communites and the country that would grow from them.
