Synopsis
Journey through one hundred years of heroism, patriotism, and endurance… fought from the sea.
In its two centuries of existence, America has seen more than its fair share of momentous events.
Through it all, the American Navy has not only been a witness, but an active and key participant to the creation and progress of the country.
It has grown and strengthened its capabilities – from having zero ships and zero expertise to becoming one of the largest fleets in the world.
Whether you’re a history buff or military enthusiast, this chronicle of the Navy’s early history is a must-read.
From monumental battles and memorable speeches, to groundbreaking developments and personal accounts, you’ll find it all here.
In The Rise of the American Navy, you will discover:
? How George Washington finally got the Continental Navy created... after years of indecision in Congress
? One of the most fascinating figures of the Revolutionary War – now remembered as the father of the American Navy
? The resourceful strategy that helped make the newly formed navy a formidable opponent, despite being greatly outmatched by the British
? The two-hour naval battle that led to American victory against Britain – and it didn’t even involve any Americans!
? How pirates resurrected the US Navy and started its gradual ascent to power
? First-hand accounts from those on the front lines that provide an up-close and personal view of the hardships of war
? How the Civil War contributed to a new era in naval warfare that made every other navy in the world obsolete
And much more.
The US Navy’s history is inextricably linked to the history of America as a nation. After all, its creation was tied to the colonies’ fight for independence
