George Washington’s Secret Navy Book Review

George Washington’s Secret Navy Book Review

Think of the seafaring forces that have squared off against the massive military might of the Royal British Navy. Not many of them came out of the fight in the same condition as they went in—if they came back at all. James L. Nelson’s new book, George Washington’s Secret Navy: How the American Revolution Went to Sea, describes just such a series of encounters between His Majesty’s fleet and a fledgling, ramshackle naval flotilla hastily created by a young George Washington during the early days of the colonials’ fight for independence. Incredibly, the upstarts held their own against the master of the waves.

About Me!

Me.

We are not human beings going through a temporary spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings going through a temporary human experience.

Greetings! My name is Jim H. Moreno. I’m a freelance writer currently working with two websites: Armchair General and WarCry Network. I am also the Keeper of the RP Archives, a blog for MMORPG roleplayers. I’m a semi-professional photographer, trained by and for the U.S. Army and a Lifetouch photography studio. I’m an avid gamer: wargames, boardgames, D&D, FPS, RTS, TBS, RPG’s, adventure games, survival horror games and MMORPG’s. I spent much of my younger years serving America in the U.S. Army, traveling the world (22 countries and 25 states) with the 82nd Airborne Division and the North Carolina National Guard. I’ve been a student of the martial arts since age 10, and it’s become as much a part of me as breathing. I have a daughter not living with me, and she has her own children. Yes, that makes me a grandfather! I am also a believer in More To Life, for it is one of the great things currently helping me to be the one thing I’ve always wanted to be above anything else: myself.
