A tremendous, riveting, fairly long sea tale with some interesting questions to ask about love, loyalty, and courage - and a healthy dose of 1950s morality to keep things silly.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
