520    Before the ink was dry on the Constitution of the United 
       States, the establishment of a permanent military had 
       become the most divisive issue facing the young republic. 
       Would a standing army be the thin end of dictatorship? 
       Would a navy protect American commerce from the vicious 
       depredations of the Barbary pirates, or would it drain the
       treasury and provoke hostilities with the great powers? 
       How large a navy would suffice? The founders -- 
       particularly Jefferson, Hamilton, Madison, and Adams -- 
       debated these questions fiercely and switched sides more 
       than once. In 1794, President Washington signed 
       legislation authorizing the construction of six heavy 
       frigates. The unique combination of power, speed and 
       tactical versatility -- smaller than a battleship and 
       larger than a sloop -- that all navies sent on their most 
       daring missions. It was the first great appropriation of 
       federal money and the first demonstration of the power of 
       the new central government, calling for the creation of 
       entirely new domestic industries, and the extraction of 
       natural resources from the backwoods of Maine to the 
       uninhabited coastal islands of Georgia. From the 
       complicated politics of the initial decision, through the 
       cliffhanger campaign against Tripoli, to the war that 
       shook the world in 1812, Ian W. Toll tells this grand tale
       with the political insight of Founding Brothers and a 
       narrative flair worthy of Patrick O'Brian. In the words of
       Henry Adams, the 1812 encounter between USS Constitution 
       and HMS Guerriere "raised the United States in one half 
       hour to the rank of a first class power in the world."
