This article places John Paul Jones in different light. It illuminates him in the full context of his career and times. It focuses on his character and real achievements, rather than his personality. The author is an award winning writer who served for two years at sea with the U.S. Navy's Atlantic Amphibious forces and 30-plus years as a reservist. He has been writing full time for about twelve years and currently is working on his sixth book.
