Need a book recommendation, on John Paul Jones,

[vontar]

I have recently been finding myself more interested in books. One the topic has to really get my attention in some way.

Right now, I have a topic on my mind that I want to explorer a bit deeper and I expect some of you know more about some authors and perhaps may have read some of these.

Right now I want to find a good book on John Paul Jones.

My first search on Amazon turned up this

Amazon.com: John Paul Jones : Sailor, Hero, Father of the American Navy (9780743205832): Evan Thomas: Books

, and I thought it might be exactly what I wanted, then I found another that might be better based on reading reviews..

Second choice,

Amazon.com: John Paul Jones: A Sailor's Biography (Bluejacket Books) (9781557504104): Samuel Eliot Morison: Books

I thought maybe if people here have read either of them or might have some insights on the authors it might help guide my decision.

the authors are.

First one, Evan Thomas

Second one, Samuel Eliot Morison

I am not a fast reader so I probably don't want to read both. I still have not read Lone Survivor, however I did pick it up and it is on my list to read. I will get it read as well.

Then again someone may have other recommendations as well on this subject.

I know there was a movie made about him in 1959, but as I understand it was pasteurized for an Ozzie and Harriet audience. This got me thinking, It might be time for Hollywood to right a wrong and remake a movie that needs to be remade. However they pro baby would not do that some a subject that just might stir patriotic feeling in people.
