A Call to the Sea: Captain Charles Stewart of the USS Constitution

Berube (former Brookings Institute LEGIS fellow and US Navy Reserve Officer) and Rodgaard (intelligence analyst, US Navy Reserve) attend to every aspect of Stewart's distinguished career, from his commissioning as lieutenant during John Adams's presidency to his death as rear admiral during the presidency of Ulysses S. Grant. Their description of Stewart's command of the USS Constitution is essential to understanding the man and the development of the U.S. Navy. Distributed by Books International.
