The Many-Headed Hydra: Sailors, Slaves, Commoners, and the Hidden History of the Revolutionary Atlantic
2000
This book rocks! I’ve been spending a lot of time researching my own stuff, and I was beginning to feel bad about letting the field reading slide a little. Especially the radical stuff. I half-reluctantly grabbed this from the bottom of the pile on my shelf, thinking I’d give it a day and jump-start this reading.
A day and a half later, I’m thinking I need to break my rule and buy this book. And I think I need to borrow some of these characters -- many of whom I've never heard of before! -- for fiction in the future. Click the title for my notes on the book.
