A highly recommended must-read for every naval enthusiast-indeed, for every American!"
-- Stephen Coonts, 17-times NY Times best-selling author
December 29, 1812 - The date of one of the most dramatic sea battles in naval history. HMS "Java" and the USS "Constitution" (the famous "Old Ironsides") face off in the War of 1812's most spectacular blue-water frigate action. Their separate stories begin in August 1812 -- one in England and the other in New England. Then, the tension and suspense rise, week-by-week, as the ships cruise the Atlantic, slowly and inevitably coming together for the final life-and-death climax.
"The Perfect Wreck" is not only the first full-length book ever written about the battle between the "Constitution" and the "Java," it's a gem of "creative nonfiction." It has the exhaustive research of a scholarly history book; but it's also beautifully presented in the form of a novel.
