Macomber brings to life U S History rarely noted or taught during academic history courses. Well-researched with excellent sustaining characters, he creates interesting and intriguing stories out of very brief skeins of actual history.

More spying than sailing but still a good entry in this very good series. The author's research of locales and events is extensive and it really enriches an already good storyline. Lots of misery observed and felt by Peter in these interesting but seldom fictionalized events when the USN was a third rate sea power.
