Kylie A. Hulbert's refreshingly original perspective on the War for Independence places privateers where they belong: at the center of the conflict. Readers interested in the Revolution, maritime history, and the Atlantic world will undoubtedly benefit from the author's many fascinating insights.--Brian Rouleau author of With Sails Whitening Every Sea: Mariners and the Making of an American Maritime Empire When most Americans consider the Revolutionary War that established independence from Great Britain, the first image that pops into their heads is the farmers that fought at the Battles of Lexington and Concord. Kylie A. Hulbert's scholarship will change that mental picture. Her vivid portraits of Revolutionary privateersmen clearly and robustly make the case that the fight to control the high seas was every bit as important as land engagements in the struggle for American freedom. We are indebted to Hulbert for her rich and highly original social history of these privateersmen.--Christopher P.
