Product description

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 O'Brian's Jack Aubrey and C.S.

And with them, with you, we write new stories of things that would otherwise remain forgotten. We will send you the money for everything you sell to us immediately.
