  1. I’m very glad Joseph Warren is getting more exposure, as with different perspectives of what happened on Bunker Hill. If it wasn’t for Nathaniel Philbrick’s latest book I wouldn’t really have thought much about Dr. Warren. How different would things have turned out if Warren hadn’t died? Philbrick has an interview lined up with WNBP AM 1450 ‘The Book Report’ radio show to talk about “Bunker Hill”, and hopefully how he came about focusing so much on this individual.
