5 stars
Maj Gen Dr. Joseph Warren, President of the Massachusetts Provisional Assembly was shot in the face (and he was also beheaded and mutilated) at the Battle of Bunker hill. The Revolution of the mind which occurred before Lexington and Concord was led by men like Warren. Had he lived his story would be more well known. This brief text is an excellent easy to absorb, if tragic, primer on his life before and through that fateful day in June 1775 when he gave his last full measure for what would one day be The United States.
