Description: Building Your Great Collection; One Fine Book at a TimeJohn Paul Jones: Sailor, Hero, Father of the American NavyThomas, Evan New York: Simon & Schuster, 2003 No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; Unread with a minor shelf lean. 9.5 inches tall; 379 pages with Chapter Notes, Bibliography and Index Near Fine / Fine. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. A critical examination of Jones's life and legacy, challenging myths while confirming his status as a Revolutionary icon. Jones's journey from Scottish lowliness to a pioneering American naval hero, despite personal controversies and unbridled ambition, showcases his significant contributions. Notably, his capture of winter uniforms for Washington's troops and his innovative naval strategies, including psychological warfare and crucial alliances with the French Navy, underscore his tactical brilliance. Thomas argues effectively for a deeper recognition of Jones's impact on the revolution, intertwining his achievements with those of the Founding Fathers. This balanced account repositions Jones among the luminaries of American history, suggesting a lasting relevance in the narrative of the nation's founding. And Check out our other items!
