A biography of John Paul Jones; at sea and in the heat of the battle, the great American hero of the Age of Sail.  Ruthless, indomitable, clever; he vowed to sail, as he put it, "in harm’s way." Drawn from John Paul Jones’s correspondence with some of the most significant figures of the American Revolution; John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson.
