Synopsis:

This biography follows the young John Paul from his youth in Scotland and the beginnings of his naval career as a cabin boy to the captaincy of his own ship. In order to escape a protracted jail term and trial for accidentally killing a mutineer on his ship, Paul is forced to anglicize his name to Jones. He rises quickly in the fledgling American Navy during the early days of the Revolution, and his capture of a trove of British war supplies dooms British General Burgoyne at Saratoga and greatly aids Washington and the American cause. However, when the proud Jones is demoted while less competent and experienced officers are promoted to captaincies, the disgruntled Scotsman goes to Washington at Valley Forge to tender his resignation. There he undergoes a patriotic epiphany and withdraws his letter, and Washington promises him a ship... if he can get a crew to man it. Eventually, with Benjamin Franklin's help, he secures a ship from Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette which he calls the Bonhomme Richard and ultimately meets the vaunted British battleship of the line, the Searapis, in one of the great naval battles of all time.

The swashbuckling adventures of the hero of the Revolutionary War. His contributions weren't always appreciated by the new U.S. government. After the way Congress show their displeasure by sending him to the Russia of Catherine the Great.

The career of Revolutionary War naval hero from his youth in Scotland through his service to Catherine the Great of Russia.
