The book appears to delve into another intriguing aspect of war.  The exploration of immigrants' sentiments when their country of citizenship conflicts with their country of origin is thought-provoking.

I think the book is interesting. The way it blends fictional plots with real events to make it more engaging and intriguing is truly applaudable. There are few who who love real stories with blend of fiction to make it enjoyable and I'm one of them. I do not support violence outside of book but aiding a war seems crucial for a nation.

I can imagine the weight of responsibility on the captain to fulfill his contractual obligations to the French and keep his crew safe. I can also image the panic on the side of the recipients when the ship delayed. This seems to be a good story.
