About the Author:

S. Thomas Russell is a lifelong sailor whose passion for the sea inspired Until the Sea Shall Give Up Her Dead; Take, Burn or Destroy; A Battle Won; and Under Enemy Colors.

Review:

"Russell's encyclopedic command of nautical lore, joined to his rare ability to spin a ripping yarn, combine to place the reader right in the middle of the action, of which there is plenty." Neal Stephenson "An unqualified seal of approval. This is gloriously readable stuff." The Bookseller"
