Richard Zacks
Astoundingly, Eaton persevered, gathering a ragtag army, including eight U.S. Marines, and leading them on a brutal march across 500 miles of desert. After surviving sandstorms, treachery, and near death from thirst, Eaton achieved a remarkable victory on "the shores of Tripoli", as commemorated in the Marine Corps Hymn. His triumph gained freedom for the American hostages and newfound respect for the young United States, but for Eaton, the aftermath wasn't sweet. When he dared to reveal that the president had abandoned him, Jefferson set out to crush him.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Zacks has researched thoroughly, writes entertainingly, and shows a knack for sea stories and characterization. This is the book that Captain Eaton has long deserved." (Publishers Weekly)
"Zacks does an expert job of explaining the diplomacy and machinations of the U.S. government....Where Zacks excels is in his research, quipping asides, and loving grasp of the subject" (Kirkus Reviews)

Even the breaks at the end of a chapter to the start of a new chapter was so fast, that It made the chapter number sound almost like a conjunction in a sentence. There also seem to be very little by way of pausing or the rise or lowering of tone to indicate a new chapter was coming up, or a new paragraph was starting on a new subject.
The whole reading ran so fast, it could put Usain Bolt to shame. This is unfortunate because the narrator actually has a nice voice, and the author kept the historical information interesting. Sometimes history can be dry reading, but I think this author just proves that a big part of that, does depend upon the writer.
Detailed history I enjoyed this book. However...
