| Abstract | "John Paul Jones tells the story of the pirate's early life and his years of service in the navy of the newly formed United States. Jones was a brilliant tactician and military leader, finding new, innovative ways to defeat vastly superior British forces at sea. American independence depended on the contributions of patriots like John Paul Jones during the pivotal years of the American Revolution."--back cover |
