Commodore David Dixon Porter made history when he took the USS
"Essex" into the Pacific and crippled the British whaling industry
during the War of 1812. While the first to suggest that the U.S.
Navy force open Japan, he was also court-martialed for his
unauthorized invasion of Spanish Puerto Rico. He later sought to
reverse his fortunes in the Mexican Navy, and consistently suffered
chaos in his personal and financial affairs. "Nothing Too Daring"
offers an objective, thoroughly researched biography of one of
America's most colorful naval officers.
