    Greenburg and in this book Greenburg focus of negative aspects of Paul revere’s personality and how Paul revere caused problems in America especially in the battle of Penobscot. Greenburg points out that Paul Revere valued his reputation more than anything and in the prologue of the book, he states “Despite the undeniable esteem he had earned for his bold exploits in the support of the patriot cause, Revere appeared restless and generally unsuited for service in the local militia regiment and, overtime, developed a somewhat restive and truculent disposition” What was very interesting about Greensburg talking about the “military disaster” is that what happened at Penobscot is mostly unreported in history books. So, a lot of people did not know how Paul Revere was involved there. The Penobscot Expedition was a war to reclaim control of mid-coast Maine from the British because the British seized it a month earlier and renamed it New Ireland. It is considered the biggest naval expedition of the war and it is considered America’s worst naval defeat.
