This unique look at the life and legacy of Dr. Joseph Warren, a character in many key narratives of the early American revolutionary period, provides a biographical sketch as well as historical opinion and documentary analysis on the circumstances of this largely forgotten revolutionary cadre. The work alternates between straight biography and historical theorizing and applies an interesting analysis of medical and financial log books belonging to Warren, to flesh out details of his involvement with the Minutemen, spying operations, and political leaders of the Boston Area. Forman is an independent historian. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
