Dense for sure & idk I actually like when an author adds their own input into their studies & shares their enthusiasm w the reader. I’m not gonna fault this guy for that tho. It’s an interesting, targeted & impressive study on an element of the revolution that’s clearly overlooked. American victory makes helluva lot more sense knowing privateering took a huge part in it  bc ofc Great Britain became an empire only bc of their command of the seas. I think my beef is that it’s American military history & that’s not my personal favorite but hey that’s what I get for wanting to learn more abt general naval history. It is cool to know that we were able to mess w the naval giant on their own turf🙂‍↕️🦅🦅
