ABOUT THE AUTHOR

CHIPP REID is a combat veteran, a licensed captain of traditionally rigged tall ships, an award-winning journalist, the author of the acclaimed Intrepid Sailors: The Legacy of Prebles Boys and the Tripoli Campaign, and the editor of Stanley Quicks Lion in the Bay: The British Invasion of the Chesapeake, 181314. This is his third book for the Naval Institute Press. Currently researching Captain James Lawrence for a future book, he continues to write about the formative years of the United States Navy and Marine Corps. He lives and works in the Washington, DC area.

The Naval Institute Press is the book-publishing arm of the U.S. Naval Institute, a private, nonprofit, membership society for sea service professionals and others who share an interest in naval and maritime affairs. Established in 1873 at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, where its offices remain today, the Naval Institute has members worldwide.

Members of the Naval Institute support the education programs of the society and receive the influential monthly magazine Proceedings or the colorful bimonthly magazine Naval History and discounts on fine nautical prints and on ship and aircraft photos. They also have access to the transcripts of the Institutes Oral History Program and get discounted admission to any of the Institute-sponsored seminars offered around the country.

The Naval Institutes book-publishing program, begun in 1898 with basic guides to naval practices, has broadened its scope to include books of more general interest. Now the Naval Institute Press publishes about seventy titles each year, ranging from how-to books on boating and navigation to battle histories, biographies, ship and aircraft guides, and novels. Institute members receive significant discounts on the Press more than eight hundred books in print.

Full-time students are eligible for special half-price membership rates. Life memberships are also available.
