The New York Times bestseller from master biographer Evan Thomas brings to life the tumultuous story of the father of the American Navy.John Paul Jones, at sea and in the heat of the battle, was the great American hero of the Age of Sail. He was to history what Patrick OBrians Jack Aubrey and C.S. Foresters Horatio Hornblower are to fiction. Ruthless, indomitable, clever; he vowed to sail, as he put it, in harms way. Evan Thomass minutebyminute recreation of the bloodbath between Joness Bonhomme Richard and the British manofwar Serapis off the coast of England on an autumn night in 1779 is as gripping a sea battle as can be found in any novel.Drawing on Joness correspondence with some of the most significant figures of the American RevolutionJohn Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas JeffersonThomass biography teaches us that it took fighters as well as thinkers, men driven by dreams of personal glory as well as highminded principle, to break free of the past and start a new world. Joness spirit was classically American.
