Podcast: Ben Franklin's WorldPublished On: Tue May 09 2023
Description: How did the Continental Congress approach creating military forces that could go toe-to-toe with the British military during the American War for Independence?

Dolin is the author of fifteen books about the maritime history of early America, including Rebels at Sea: Privateering in the American Revolution.
