If you like adventure and great writing, "Sea of Glory" is a terrific
book.

I was given a copy of his earlier book "In The Heart Of The Sea" about a
whaling ship disaster. Also a great book... it's real history, lots of
facts, well written, and a fascinating story.

I read it - excellant. I added it to my library in fact. I'm also
going to add "Sea of Glory" to my collection.

The guy really knows how to write an interesting history book. I was
hugely disappointed in "John Paul Jones" by Evan Thomas. Some folks I
know were raving about how Thomas described the great sea battle and
it was the sorriest description I've ever read about the "Bon Homme
Richard".

Of course my reading has been colored by years of Forrester, Kent,
etc. :)
