John Paul Jones: A naval hero in the American Revolution, John Paul Jones lived a life that merged with another story, that of the birth and growth of the American navy. The story of this patriot of the sea gives readers insight into early nautical strategy and technology, and the political and economic causes that sparked the wars in which these naval battles played a pivotal role.
