Efforts upon the waves played a critical role in European and
Anglo-American conflicts throughout the eighteenth century. Yet the
oft-told narrative of the American Revolution tends to focus on
battles on American soil or the debates and decisions of the
Continental Congress. The Untold War at Sea is the first book to
place American privateers and their experiences during the War for
Independence front and center. Kylie A. Hulbert tells the story of
privateers at home and abroad while chronicling their experiences,
engagements, cruises, and court cases. This study forces a
reconsideration of the role privateers played in the conflict and
challenges their place in the accepted popular narrative of the
Revolution. Despite their controversial tactics, Hulbert
illustrates that privateers merit a place alongside minutemen,
Continental soldiers, and the sailors of the fledgling American
navy. This book offers a redefinition of who fought in the war and
how their contributions were measured. The process of revolution
and winning independence was global in nature, and privateers
operated at its core.
