Review
“The Court-Martial of Paul Revere is the most fascinating book that I have read in a long while. This is not the Paul Revere that you thought you knew. This Revere is pugnacious, snarky, maybe underhanded, and despite the verdict in his court-martial a poor military officer. I heartily recommend this engagingly written book to anyone who wishes to know more about Revere and the War of Independence.” (John Ferling, author of Jefferson and Hamilton: The Rivalry that Forged a Nation)
“Michael M. Greenburg’s deeply researched, riveting account of the Battle of Penobscot Bay is hard to put down. It sheds important new light on a little understood episode of the American Revolution, and on the character of Paul Revere, one of America’s more complex, iconic heroes.” (George C. Daughan, author of 1812: The Navy’s War and The Shining Sea)
“A fascinating look into the life of an American legend, and a good reminder that even the greatest among us are subject to human foibles and failings.” (Gen. George W. Casey, Jr., chief of staff of the United States Army (ret.))
“Michael Greenburg’s account of Paul Revere’s entanglement with the Penobscot Expedition is brilliant! Beautifully written, exhaustively researched, and judiciously fair, the book is an impressive and indispensable addition to literature on the American Revolution.” (Bernard Cornwell, author of The Fort)
