Book Description
"[A] rollicking narrative . . . Superb"--Ben Wilson, Times A brilliant telling of the history of the common seaman in the age of sail, and his role in Britain's trade, exploration, and warfare British maritime history in the age of sail is full of the deeds of officers like Nelson but has given little voice to plain, "illiterate" seamen. Now Stephen Taylor draws on published and unpublished memoirs, letters, and naval records, including court-martials and petitions, to present these men in their own words. In this exhilarating account, ordinary seamen are far from the hapless sufferers of the press gangs. Proud and spirited, learned in their own fashion, with robust opinions and the courage to challenge overweening authority, they stand out from their less adventurous compatriots. Taylor demonstrates how the sailor was the engine of British prosperity and expansion up to the Industrial Revolution. From exploring the South Seas with Cook to establishing the East India Company as a global corporation, from the sea battles that made Britain a superpower to the crisis of the 1797 mutinies, these "sons of the waves" held the nation's destiny in their calloused hands.

Book Description
The story follows the diverging fortunes of two young men who were caught in a vortex of conflict that spilled into family life. The story is narrated by one of the young men, and by a young woman who fell in love with him. While enrolled at university after serving in the Israeli army, Ari discovered that his biological parents were in and of the currently hostile Palestinian community. His adoptive family helped him deal with his angst caused by this paradox, though acceptance of him by some started to fray as the result of extreme interpretations of religious texts. His life became unbearable as a cadre of fanatics branded him as a security risk. He emigrated to Brooklyn, NY, where he found healing, acceptance, and romance. Concurrent with the discovery of his real parents was a mirrored event in the Palestinian community with a different outcome. The other young man who was switched with the former, at birth, was revealed by the media to be of Jewish origin. William Baruch grew up in a gritty industrial town in northern England. He has lived in Israel and France, is father of three daughters and now lives in Florida with his wife who was a great help editing this story.
