Casual, chatty account of Franklin's wartime efforts to retrieve Americans held by the British - by commissioning three cutters, French-owned & Irish-manned, to waylay and capture British ships & crew to exchange for the Americans. Franklin, American Commissioner to the Court of Versailles and later a Judge of the French Admiralty, became enmeshed in French duplicity & bureaucracy and gave up the plan after a year.
