Hi -- my new book, Rebels at Sea: Privateering in the American Revolution >/i> published on May 31. It is now available everywhere. For more on the book, please visit my author website at https://www.ericjaydolin.com/. Below are a few reviews. Hope you get a copy. Thanks for reading!
“Yet another maritime masterpiece by one of the top historians of the oceans! Rebels at Sea is a brilliant exposition of a little-understood and under-appreciated part of the American Revolution underway. Like his earlier works, it is full of fresh thinking and sharply observed anecdotes that both inform and delight. Eric Jay Dolin's books deserve a prominent place on every sailor's bookshelf.”—Admiral James Stavridis, 16th Supreme Allied Commander at NATO and author of The Sailor's Bookshelf: Fifty Books to Know the Sea
"Rebels at Sea is sure to be another successful addition to Dolin’s catalog. The narrative is fast-paced and exciting. . . . The work also has some stunning and colorful pictures, including paintings, maps and portraits. This ranks as one of the best books the Journal of the American Revolution has reviewed."—Timothy Symington, Journal of the American Revolution
“Richly detailed, impressively documented, and beautifully written, Rebels at Sea hugely expands our understanding of the American Revolution through a stirring narrative of an essential part that has long been neglected.”—George Daughan, author of Revolution on the Hudson and Lexington and Concord
“With Rebels at Sea, Eric Jay Dolin combines his meticulous research with his consummate skills as a story teller. The American privateers who sailed and fought in our Revolution have been unjustly forgotten by our history books. Their victories at sea heartened citizens, proved their worth to the Continental Congress, and drove George III and Lord North nuts. This is a terrific read!”—Tim McGrath, author of Give Me a Fast Ship: The Continental Navy and America's Revolution at Sea
“The war at sea during the Revolutionary War is less known than the famous land battles fought at places such as Lexington and Trenton. But privateers played a crucial role by elevating the cost of war to the Crown and providing vital supplies and gunpowder to the nascent United States among other actions. Eric Jay Dolin brings the war at sea to life with vibrant prose and solid research. After reading Rebels at Sea, readers will come away with a new perspective on how America gained independence.“—Patrick K. O’Donnell — author of The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier-Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington Across the Delaware
"The author makes this solid work of scholarship the sort of book that starts a young person’s love of reading and interest in history. Dolin never loses the reader in his clear and concise prose." Robert S. Davis, New York Journal of Books
"Rebel’s at Sea is captivating reading for those drawn to American and British history or armchair sailors seeking high seas adventure. It is also an important contribution to American Revolution literature."—George Jepson, Quarterdeck Magazine
“The most under-appreciated and under-chronicled contribution to American victory in the War of Independence was the massive impact of the capture and sale by Yankee privateers of numerous British merchant ships. At last we have an authoritative history of those patriots and their exploits by a disciplined scholar and a master teller of sea stories. Rebels at Sea, is that rare volume, a well-researched scholarly maritime history that is also a gripping saga of adventure on the high seas.”—John Lehman, former Secretary of the Navy and author of Oceans Ventured, Winning the Cold War at Sea
"A compelling tale of patriots whose bravery was integral to America’s victory in the War of Independence, Rebels at Sea is highly recommended."—Chris Szepessy, WindCheck Magazine, Sailing the Northeast
