520    Little has been known of one of the most important figures
       in early American history, Dr. Joseph Warren, an architect
       of the colonial rebellion, and a man who might have led 
       the country as Washington or Jefferson did had he not been
       martyred at Bunker Hill in 1775. 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, and his incendiary 
       writings included the famous Suffolk Resolves, which 
       helped unite the colonies against Britain and inspired the
       Declaration of Independence. Yet after his death, his life
       and legend faded, leaving his contemporaries to rise to 
       fame in his place and obscuring his essential role in 
       bringing America to independence.  Christian Di Spigna's 
       definitive new biography of Warren is a loving work of 
       historical excavation, the product of two decades of 
       research and scores of newly unearthed primary-source 
       documents that have given us this forgotten Founding 
       Father anew. Following Warren from his farming childhood 
       and years at Harvard through his professional success and 
       political radicalization to his role in sparking the 
       rebellion, Di Spigna's thoughtful, judicious retelling not
       only restores Warren to his rightful place in the pantheon
       of Revolutionary greats, it deepens our understanding of 
       the nation's dramatic beginnings.
