Incredible story of Captain John Paul Jones, written in superlative style by Commander Edward Ellsberg, who also wrote the riveting book "Hell on Ice", the story of the ship Jeanette in the Arctic. Well written and well researched, "Captain Paul" keeps your attention as it follows the riveting story of America's first naval patriot. One vividly sees what he meant when he shouted, "I have not begun to fight!" in the face of seemingly overwhelming odds against a British warship of greater power. A collectible book for those who enjoy naval history and adventure. Highly recommend!
