Sam Forman is an historian, Harvard University faculty member, and businessman. He is educated in history of the American Revolution and the history of science, as well as the practice of clinical and preventive medicine. Throughout his successful careers as physician, military officer and businessman, he has published and lectured on historical topics that inform current issues. He is a member of the Lexington Minutemen historical reenactors, public historians dedicated to the understanding of the American experience from the era of the nation’s founding. A fortuitous confluence of capabilities – in history, medicine, business accounting, rigorous scholarship, and gut-level enthusiasm for the topic - led Dr. Forman to tackle a project that academic historians have shied away from. Making sense of opaque eighteenth century physician’s account books, a feat of both forensic analysis and medical historical scholarship, has turned out to be the elusive key to understanding Joseph Warren’s life experiences. Written for a popular audience on a base of all-new scholarship, "Dr. Joseph Warren – The Boston Tea Party, Bunker Hill, and the Birth of American Liberty" is an ambitious debut and a volume that is sure to become the definitive biography of a worthy national figure.
