The Pirate Coast: Thomas Jefferson, the First Marines & the Secret Mission of 1805

Actual Rating: 4.5/5 stars
Review:
This was a really well done book, and I highly enjoyed it. Why? I LOVE pirates, and this was one heck of a pirates’ tale. I would have given this a full 5 out of 5 stars, except for one little fluke I mentioned in one of my updates. Pages 91 and 103 were both titled “Chapter 7: Yussef,” while there was only one insert for Chapter 7 in the Table of Contents. Other than that, it was a really well done book and I recommend it as a read.

"Okay, so I’m pretty sure this was a misprint, but there are two Chapter 7’s in my book. It was only the first page of each chapter - pages 91 and 103 in my copy - that were repeats of each other."
