John Paul Jones: Americas First Sea Warrior Joseph F. Callo
Publisher: Naval Institute Press


"This fresh look at America's first sea warrior avoids both the hero worship of the past and the recent, inaccurate deconstructionist views of John Paul Jones's astonishing life. The author goes beyond a narrow naval context to establish Jones as a key player in the American Revolution, an approach not taken by previous biographers. Admiral Joseph Callo also fully examines Jones's dramatic military accomplishments - including his improbable victory off Flamborough Head in the Continental ship Bonhomme Richard - but in the context of the times rather than as standalone events." "This biography also looks at some interesting but lesser-known aspects of Jones's naval career, among them his relationships with such civilian leaders as Benjamin Franklin. How Jones handled those often-difficult dealings, Callo maintains, contributed to the nation's concept of civilian control of the military. The author 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, thus earning him the epithet America's first apostle of sea power. Further, Callo analyzes Jones's brief tour in the Russian navy, a revealing chapter of his life that has been underreported in the two hundred years since Jones's death." Rather than looking at Jones in a rearview mirror, Callo illuminates how this unique naval hero is linked to the nation's present and future. As a result, the author gives us a sea saga that tells much about our own lives and times.
