About This Item
London: Michael Joseph, 1941. 1st. hardback. Good, missing d/j, yellow boards showing rubbing and some browning; endpapers v.g., pages clean and unmarked, binding reasonable and intact.. 12mo (190 x 130 / 7_"" x 5""). No one but a madman would put to sea in such conditions. A blizzard cut visibility to yards. Long Island Sound was galloping whitecaps. But in this second year of the war of 1812, conditions like these spelled opportunity to Captain Josiah Peabody. His mission: break the British Blockade. The only thing in his favor was surprise. Who would expect a Yankee frigate in Long Island Sound at night?
