Six Frigates The Epic History Of The Founding Of The Us Navy Ian W Toll by Ian W. Toll 9780393066647, 0393066649 instant download after payment.

How "a handful of bastards and outlaws fighting under a piece of striped bunting" humbled the omnipotent British Navy.
Before the ink was dry on the U.S. Constitution, the establishment of a permanent military had become the most divisive issue facing the new government. Would a standing army be the thin end of dictatorship?
Would a navy protect American commerce against the Mediterranean pirates,or drain the treasury and provoke hostilities with the great powers?
The founders particularly Jefferson, Madison, and Adams debated these questions fiercely and switched sides more than once. How much of a navy would suffice? Britain alone had hundreds of powerful warships.
From the decision to build six heavy frigates, through the cliffhanger campaign against Tripoli, to the war that shook the world in 1812, Ian W. Toll tells this grand tale with the political insight of Founding Brothers and a narrative flair worthy of Patrick O'Brian.
