Dr. Joseph Warren was one of the leaders in the years prior to the War for Independence. At one point, his name was a staple of American classrooms. Now, mentions of him have nearly vanished, obscured by the march of time. Janet Uhlar argues that without Dr. Joseph Warren’s pivotal contributions, American history would be profoundly different. Her book is titled Liberty’s Martyr: The Story of Dr. Joseph Warren.
