Description: |
Ex library with the usual stamps and scuffing on the back free endpage from removal of card sleeve; this book tells the little-known story of Captain David Porter, who spearheaded the US Navy's war against piracy in the years between 1800 and 1825. The author tells the swashbuckling story of Porter and the pirates with a wealth of action and authentic detail. The books helps fill a gap in the history of the US Navy. |
