Tim McGrath’s GIVE ME A FAST SHIP – Engaging Story of America’s Naval Captains in the Revolutionary War Including the Privateers who Helped Us Win

This is a well-written book that tells the amazing story of Americans who rose to the challenge during the Revolutionary War to fight the greatest navy in the world for the cause of America’s independence. 

 

Though it’s non-fiction, it held my interest as if fiction. McGrath splits the saga into bite sized pieces he weaves together for a compelling tale. He does move around a lot, jumping from year to year, and that’s my only suggestion for change...make clear what year the incident takes place in.

 

His details are great and he brings to life these courageous men who many know little about. I loved the list of captains he provided and referred to it many times.

 

A very good read and I recommend it.
