Westborough –Michael M. Greenburg, the author of “The Court-Martial of Paul Revere, A Son of Liberty & America’s Forgotten Military Disaster,” will be at Tatnuck Bookseller Sunday, Nov. 2, from 1-3 p.m.
The book is a chronicle of Paul Revere’s only military service during the American Revolution.
At the height of the American Revolution in 1779, Massachusetts launched the Penobscot expedition, a massive military and naval undertaking designed to force the British from the strategically important coast of Maine. What should have been an easy victory for the larger American force quickly descended into a quagmire of arguing, disobedience, and failed strategy.
In the aftermath, the already famous Lieutenant Colonel Paul Revere was charged by fellow officers with neglect of duty, disobeying orders, and cowardice. Though not formally condemned, he was still surrounded by rumors about his role in the disaster, and so he spent the next several years trying to recover his reputation.
Tatnuck Bookseller is located at 18 Lyman St., in the Westborough Shopping Center.
