About this product

Product Information

The man regarded as "the Father of the American Navy" returns to the quarterdeck in John Barry: An American Hero in the Age of Sail , the first comprehensive biography of this legendary officer in generations. Barry distinguished himself as a fighting captain in the Continental Navy, commanded American forces during the Quasi War with France, made one of the first American voyages to China, and trained the next generation of naval officers, including Stephen Decatur. Drawn from primary source documents from around the world, Tim McGrath brings the story of this self-made American and his world back to life.
