... 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". Have you read the one by Samuel Eliot Morrison? Not edge-of-your-seat writing, but it's thorough, and written by somebody who not only knows ships & the sea but can explain things pretty well. Of course my reading has been colored by years of Forrester, Kent, etc. :) Dudley Pope? Kenneth Roberts? Regards Doug King |
