| Summary | "The Navy of the American Revolution: Its Administration, its Policy, and its Achievements" by Charles Oscar Paullin is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This dissertation explores the organizational structure, legislative developments, and operational strategies of the Continental Navy during the American Revolution. It focuses on the administrative side of the naval operations rather than just the exploits of individual commanders, aiming to provide a comprehensive overview of the Navy's role in the broader context of the conflict. The opening of the book sets the stage for a detailed examination of the early naval committees formed in 1775, emphasizing the need for a navy amidst the growing conflict with Britain. It introduces the challenges faced by the Continental Congress in establishing a naval force and highlights the debates among representatives regarding the necessity and logistics of creating such a fleet. Paullin establishes a framework for understanding the distinct roles of various naval committees and their interactions with military leadership, laying the groundwork for an exploration of the Continental Navy's significant yet often overlooked contributions to American independence.
