In this lively narrative history, Robert H. Patton, grandson of the
World War II battlefield legend, tells a sweeping tale of courage,
capitalism, naval warfare, and international political intrigue set
on the high seas during the American Revolution.
Patriot Pirates highlights the obscure but pivotal role played by
colonial privateers in defeating Britain in the American
Revolution. American privateering-essentially legalized
piracy-began with a ragtag squadron of New England schooners in
1775. It quickly erupted into a massive seaborne insurgency
involving thousands of money-mad patriots plundering Britain's
maritime trade throughout Atlantic. Patton's extensive research
brings to life the extraordinary adventures of privateers as they
hammered the British economy, infuriated the Royal Navy, and
humiliated the crown.
