In 1775 General George Washington secretly armed a handful of small ships and sent them to sea against the world’s mightiest navy From the author of the critically acclaimed Benedict Arnold’s Navy, here is the story of how America’s first commander-in-chief--whose previous military experience had been entirely on land--nursed the fledgling American Revolution through a season of stalemate by sending troops to sea.
