Download or read book John Paul Jones written by Evan Thomas and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-06-15 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller from master biographer Evan Thomas brings to life the tumultuous story of the father of the American Navy. John Paul Jones, at sea and in the heat of the battle, was the great American hero of the Age of Sail. He was to history what Patrick O’Brian’s Jack Aubrey and C.S. Forester’s Horatio Hornblower are to fiction. Ruthless, indomitable, clever; he vowed to sail, as he put it, “in harm’s way.” Evan Thomas’s minute-by-minute re-creation of the bloodbath between Jones’s Bonhomme Richard and the British man-of-war Serapis off the coast of England on an autumn night in 1779 is as gripping a sea battle as can be found in any novel. Drawing on Jones’s correspondence with some of the most significant figures of the American Revolution—John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson—Thomas’s biography teaches us that it took fighters as well as thinkers, men driven by dreams of personal glory as well as high-minded principle, to break free of the past and start a new world. Jones’s spirit was classically American.

Download or read book The Father of the American Navy (Classic Reprint) written by George W. Baird and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Father of the American Navy The Original, Colonial, Navy which existed during the time of the Colonies, was dismantled, crews discharged and officers mustered out, at the termination of the Revolutionary war, for want of money to continue it. Only one officer (John Paul Jones) was continued in the Government employ, as American Commissioner at L'Oriente, France, to settle the very complicated tangle of ownership, prize claims, etc., as some of the ships were letter-of-marque, some privateers and some men of war, but nearly all had mixed American and French crews. These vessels had won about 80 per cent of their battles, and there were as many as 74,000 men in them. Washington's Army never numbered more than 20,000 at one time. In the original Colonial Navy there were 42 Captains, of whom the senior was Eseck Hopkins of Rhode Island, who was appointed Commander in Chief, with rank equal to that of General Washington. He was the brother of Stephen Hopkins, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and native born. His admirers speak of him as Father of the American Navy, and though there is a distinction between the Colonial Navy and the U. S. Navy they were equally American. Columbus is credited with the Discovery of America, though he never saw the continent, but did discover the Bahamas and Antilles, and thus blazed the way for the following discoverers. But, in the Naval Service, we have held that Congress was the Father of the Navy, and not any individual. The first Regulations for the Navy were prepared by John Paul Jones, when a first lieutenant. His youth, evidently, prevented his appointment as Captain at once. But his success as a fighter and his general superiority, mentally, diplomatically, personally, won his promotion to Captain very soon. And his admirers call him the Father of the American Navy.

Download or read book Rickover written by Thomas B. Allen and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2007 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hyman G. Rickover was not long removed from his Jewish roots in Poland when he graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1922. After a respectable career spent mostly in unglamorous submarine and engineering billets, he took command of the U.S. Navy's nuclear propulsion program and revived his career, being retired--involuntarily--some thirty years later in early 1982. He was not only the architect of the nuclear Navy but also its builder. In the process, he erected a network of power and influence that rivaled those who were elected to high office, and that protected him from them when his controversial methods became objectionable or, as critics would suggest, undermined the nation's vital interests. Authors Thomas B. Allen and Norman Polmar, whose full-length biography of Rickover (in manuscript in 1981) was consulted by the Reagan Administration during the decision to remove him from active duty, are eminently qualified to write an essential treatment on the controversial genius of Admiral Rickover.
