This fresh look at Americas first sea warrior avoids both the hero worship of the past and the recent, inaccurate deconstructionist views of John Paul Joness astonishing life. The author goes beyond a narrow naval context to establish Jones as a key player in the American Revolution, something not done by previous biographers, and explains what drove him to his achievements. At the same time, Admiral Joseph Callo fully examines Joness dramatic military achievementsincluding his improbable victory off Flamborough Head in the Continental ship <em>Bonhomme Richard</em>but in the context of the times rather than as stand-alone events. The book also looks at some interesting but lesser-known aspects of Joness naval career, including his relationships with such civilian leaders as Benjamin Franklin. How Jones handled those often-difficult dealings, Callo maintains, contributed to the nations concept of civilian control of the military. Suggesting that Jones might well be the first U.S. apostle of sea power, the author also focuses on the fact that Jones was the first serving American naval officer who emphasized the role naval power would play in the rise of the United States as a global power. Another neglected aspect of Joness career that gets attention and analysis is his brief tour in the Russian navy, a revealing chapter of his life that has been underreported in the two hundred years since Joness death. Rather than looking at Jones in a rearview mirror, Callo illuminates how this unique naval hero is linked to the nations present and future. As a result, he gives us a sea saga that tells much about our own lives and times.</p>...3364826John Paul Jones324450https://www.gandhi.com.mx/john-paul-jones-9781612510163/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2905028/779b3984-3006-4a76-b421-5fadfc0189c3.jpg?v=638384609955700000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20099781612510163_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9781612510163_<p>This fresh look at Americas first sea warrior avoids the hero worship of past biographies and provides a more complete understanding of his accomplishments. Writing from the perspective of a naval officer with more than thirty years of experience and a seaman with a lifetime of sailing know-how, Callo examines Jones extraordinary career by going beyond his legendary naval achievements to establish him as a key player in the American Revolution. Analyzing his relationships with important civilian leaders of the Revolution, such as Benjamin Franklin, the author demonstrates how Jones handling of those often difficult dealings contributed to the nations concept of civilian control of the military. In this acclaimed biography, Jones is shown to be not only a highly-skilled and relentless commander, but the first serving American naval officer to emphasize the role the Navy could play in the rise of the United States as a global power.</p>(*_*)9781612510163_<p>Winner of the Samuel Eliot Morrison Award for Excellence in Naval Literature.
