Reviews
"By its title, this book is to some extent sailing under false colors. Although its climax is the commerce-raiding cruise and eventual capture of the U.S. brig Argus during the War of 1812, its total coverage is vastly greater. It is essentially a biography of two captains--the American William Henry Allen and his British opponent, John Fordyce Maples--and their two ships, crews, and problems both professional and personal. In fact, it is a microcosmic portrait--thoroughly researched and very well written by retired naval officer and active yachtsman Dye--of the golden age of naval warfare under sail. Lovers of Napoleonic naval fiction, from the novels of Captain Marryat up to those of the currently popular Patrick O'Brian, will find a feast in the book, and it makes a worthwhile addition to serious naval history collections, too." -- Booklist, "By its title, this book is to some extent sailing under false colors.
