About the Author

James Tertius de Kay has written a number of well received histories of the U.S. Navy. The New York Times called his Chronicles of the Frigate Macedonian "history that reads like a historical novel," and praised the "gripping suspense and excitement" of his Monitor. His biography of Commodore Stephen Decatur, A Rage for Glory was described by the Washington Post as "concise, fast-moving, well researched," and it was singled out as one of a dozen Navy Classics by Naval History magazine. Publishers Weekly described de Kay's most recent book, Roosevelt's Navy as an "expertly crafted work of intense focus and broad appeal."
