Product Information
The heroic story of the founding of the U.S. Navy during the Revolution has been told before, but missing from most maritime histories of America's first war is the ragtag fleet of private vessels that tormented the formidable British navy. In Rebels at Sea, best-selling historian Eric Jay Dolin corrects that significant omission, contending that privateers, though often seen as profiteers at best and pirates at worst, were in fact critical to the Revolution's outcome. "Richly detailed, impressively documented, and beautifully written" (George Daughan), Rebels at Sea presents a compelling narrative history of these forgotten heroes of the American Revolution.

Reviews
The bestselling maritime historian returns with a study of privateering activity during the Revolutionary War and its role in bolstering the Colonial cause . . . In this exciting narrative, Dolin, a 2020 Kirkus Prize finalist for A Furious Sky, demonstrates how privateering was a key element in America's ability to secure independence . . . The author digs deep into the whole enterprise . . . In this characteristically well-researched history, Dolin describes the vital activities of two main types of privateers . . . The author also explores in fascinating detail the desperate circumstances of captured Americans aboard British prison ships . . . A thrilling, unique contribution to the literature on the American Revolution., Rebels at Sea gives readers not only an insight into the nature of privateering and all it involved, but it provides a good picture of the heroism, suffering, and sacrifices necessary in creating the United States., Rebels at Sea is captivating reading for those drawn to American and British history or armchair sailors seeking high seas adventure. It is also an important contribution to American Revolution literature., Eric Dolin majestically rectifies the oversight that the official canon of naval history in Britain and the United States virtually ignores privateers. . . . Eric Dolin's Rebels At Sea is original, meticulously researched and connects one of the USA's great missing links in understanding how the land of the free earned its liberty. Rebels At Sea is rich in stories, historical explanation and tales of derring-do - a new and refreshing take on how the West was won., Dolin's valuable achievement in recognizing and honoring these sailors' oft-ignored contributions to American independence more fully fleshes out American naval history., [A] spirited account . . . The book's greatest strength are the up-close portraits of the sailors themselves . . . This is a well-researched and thoroughly entertaining tribute to men who 'stepped forward and risked their lives to help make [the United States] a reality.', Eric Jay Dolin is an excellent writer, straightforward with a style that keeps the book moving while thoroughly engaging the reader. Rebels at Sea is destined to become the starting place to understand the privateer war during the American Revolution., There may be no better read for an American Revolution history lover this summer than Eric Jay Dolin's latest Rebels at Sea, a look at the forgotten role of the privateer during America's battle for independence. . . . [It] presents a great introduction to this hidden corner of American history., The author makes this solid work of scholarship the sort of book that starts a young person's love of reading and interest in history. Dolin never loses the reader in his clear and concise prose., Most naval history focuses on battles between national fleets, and so the swaggering history of the Revolution's American privateers may have sailed past some readers. Eric Jay Dolin's comprehensive effort helps correct that oversight. . . . [Rebels at Sea is] fascinating., Rebels at Sea is a worthwhile addition to Eric Jay Dolin's superb scholarly library of maritime works. . . . [it] is a broad and well-researched examination of the role of letter-of-marque vessels during the American Revolution. This new work is a very much welcome addition to Revolutionary War maritime history., Rebels at Sea is sure to be another successful addition to Dolin's catalog. The narrative is fast-paced and exciting. . . . The work also has some stunning and colorful pictures, including paintings, maps and portraits. This ranks as one of the best books the Journal of the American Revolution has reviewed., Scholars and general readers will enhance their knowledge of an often-neglected yet essential aspect of Revolutionary War history with Dolin's cogent, absorbing, thoroughly researched account., A compelling tale of patriots whose bravery was integral to America's victory in the War of Independence, Rebels at Sea is highly recommended., Eric Jay Dolin, the author of several books on early American seafaring, believes that these privateers have received short shrift in other histories of the Revolution. His thoroughly researched, engagingly written Rebels at Sea gives them their due . . . when a ship couldn't outsail its foes, or when a potential prize resisted, a bloody action could ensue, and Rebels at Sea vividly recounts some of these battles, as vessels with evocative names such as Vengeance, Eagle and Defiance face off against the enemy . . . Dolin convincingly contends that the underappreciated 'militia of the sea' played a critical role in the colonies winning their independence, despite Britain's 'peculiar and sovereign authority upon the ocean.
