"A fluent, intelligent history...give[s] the reader a feel for the human quirks and harsh demands of life at sea."—New York Times Book ReviewBefore the ink was dry on the U.S. Constitution, the establishment of a permanent military became the most divisive issue facing the new government. The founders—particularly Jefferson, Madison, and Adams—debated fiercely. Would a standing army be the thin end of dictatorship? Would a navy protect from pirates or drain the treasury and provoke hostility? Britain alone had hundreds of powerful warships.From the decision to build six heavy frigates, through the cliff-hanger campaign against Tripoli, to the war that shook the world in 1812, Ian W. Toll tells this grand tale with the political insight of Founding Brothers and the narrative flair of Patrick O'Brian.

Why did I read this book? I'm in this mood where I'm not interested in fiction. I hadn't been able to finish any of the fiction books I was reading, so I started reading a history book called The Fourth Part of the World. A fascinating read on what could have been a very dry subject, a map. I blew threw it in a few days and wanted more. Next I read 1776. A very well known book, deservedly so. I was impressed. But I was done, and was hungry for more, particularly from that time period. I stumbled upon Six Frigates and started in.I couldn't put it down.Not only is the book captivating and intense, it is sincere in it's historical accuracy (unlike other history books I've read that try to make the work into a Hollywood thriller). While reading, you get the sense that this was extremely well researched. At the same time, the descriptions make you feel like you're living the moment. And the insights into our founding fathers are so well illustrated that you come away feeling as if you know the people, or better yet, as if Ian Toll knew them and is tell us about people with which he is well acquainted.Why is the book important? In Ian's own words, he "set out to write a book about the founding of the U.S. Navy, yet ended up writing a book about the founding of our country".The book is about how a government decides when to use force overseas, defend its rights against the world superpower, and enter the world stage. THis is an underdog story, sure. And a rousing adventure. But it also sheds light on how 13 colonies became one nation.
