This review is from: Matthew Calbraith Perry: Antebellum Sailor and Diplomat (Hardcover)
This is the first biography of this great Naval Hero in years. It was worth the wait. The significance of Perry's opening of Japan as well as his other accomplishments is amazing.This story is told in an interesting, engaging way that will interest even the casual readers of history. Enjoy!
