58:34Now PlayingPhilbrick’s acclaimed narrative histories include In the Heart of the Sea, winner of the National Book Award—and the basis for the recent Ron Howard film—Mayflower, awarded the Massachusetts Book Award, and most recently, Bunker Hill, honored with the New England Book Award. In his fourteenth book, Philbrick focuses on the Revolutionary War, recreating the revolt through the experiences of George Washington and Benedict Arnold, whose strained relationship itself became a tense battleground when Arnold began to harbor resentments and lose his patriotic fervor, and Washington came to suspect that not all the enemies were outside his forces.
