The true story of two Irish naval heroes who won great battle victories for their adopted homelands and helped them achieve national independence. John Barry from Co. Wexford was a Philadelphia-based merchant ship captain when The Boston Tea Party ignited the American Revolutionary War. He joined the Continental Navy and became their 'Top Gun' commander. President George Washington awarded Commission Number One to Commodore John Barry as the first flag officer of the new US Navy - for his stellar work in its creation, and the re-establishment of the Navy Marine Corps. In Part Two of the book William Brown from Co. Mayo got embroiled in the War of Liberation of South America, after Spanish ships harassed his Buenos Aires merchant fleet. He founded the Argentine Navy from scratch and won the decisive naval battles against Spain and Brazil that led to the establishment of the Republic of Argentina, earning himself a special place in Argentine history as Almirante Guillermo William Brown.
