Joshua Barney: Hero of the Revoltion and 1812By A CustomerThis is a well written and organized book about one of the most fascinating naval officers to serve America during the crucial years of the formation of our nation. His biography involves crossing the paths of many of the great figures of the Revolution; including Washington; Franklin; Morris; Adams; Napoleon; Madison; Monroe; and John Paul Jones among others. Norton has brought the long neglected history of the Continental Navy to life in this work. The adventures of Barney as a yong seaman; lieutenant; privateer and ultimately captain and commodore from captive of the British to clever businessman make for fascinating reading. It is a story that is so exciting; it is difficult to put down. I highly recommend it those who are interested in naval history; Revolutionary War history and those who simply like a good adventure story. It is remarkable that is a work of non-fiction. It reads as well as the best of the Hornblower novels.
