Exclusive–O’Donnell: The Fishing Boat that Started the American Navy

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/05/21/exclusive-odonnell-the-fishing-boat-that-started-the-american-navy/


I first learned about this book when the author was interviewed on Bannon's War Room.  Ordered it immediately.  First "new" book I've bought in years.  I'm cheap and usually wait for used copies that are a couple of bucks. 

It uses first hand information.  Topics include:

John Adams successfully defending the fisherman who fatally harpooned a Royal Navy Officer in the neck leading a "press gang" trying to "recruit" sailors. 

The role of New England fishermen in the crossing of the Delaware, arguably the turning point of the Revolution.
