Founding martyr : the life and death of Dr. Joseph Warren, the American Revolution's lost hero
One of the Founding Fathers, Dr. Joseph Warren's death at Bunker Hill obscured his essential role in America's independence. An architect of the colonial rebellion, Warren was involved in almost every major insurrectionary act in the Boston area for a decade, from the Stamp Act protests to the Boston Massacre to the Boston Tea Party. His incendiary writings included the famous Suffolk Resolves, which helped unite the colonies against Britain and inspired the Declaration of Independence. Di Spigna not only restores Warren to his rightful place in the pantheon of Revolutionary greats, he deepens our understanding of the nation's dramatic beginnings. -- adapted from dust jacket
