Publisher's Summary:
Call to Arms is the fourth novel in the award-winning historical / nautical fiction series from William C. Hammond. Along with the other novels in the Cutler Family Chronicles - most recently For Love of Country and The Power and the Glory - it features the epic saga of the seafaring Cutler family of Hingham, Massachusetts and an ever expanding cast of characters.
Among these characters are real historical figures including Capt. Edward Preble, Lt. Stephen Decatur, Lt. Richard Somers, Samuel Coleridge, Bashaw Yusuf Qaramanli, and Adm. Horatio Lord Nelson. Interwoven with these historical characters is a fast-paced and gripping plot that takes the listener from Java in the Dutch East Indies to New England at the start of the 19th century, and on to Gibraltar, Tripoli, Malta, Sicily, Alexandria and Cairo. Historic events depicted in the novel have been subjected to intense research and have been vetted by historians.

American Heroes
A Call to Arms, the fourth book in the evolving maritime saga of the Cutler family, is American nautical historical fiction at its finest, in the tradition of James Fennimore Cooper and James Nelson. This book concerns the First Barbary War, the crucible in which the U.S. Navy was tested, and as Hammond says, "acted for the first time as a cohesive fighting force capable of formulating and implementing complex strategies while deployed thousands of miles from home waters."
Reading A Call to Arms I had a clearer picture of the conflict, its significance, and the role historical figures like Captain Preble and Stephen Decatur played.
In many ways the book reads like popular nonfiction, except for the imagined dialogue. Hammond provides the needed background seamlessly through well-chosen, poignant details. A Call to Arms, like the first three books in the series, is a lively history lesson told through the lives of the fictional Cutler family, American heroes and heroines I'd be proud to call my ancestors.Barbados Bound (Patricia McPherson Nautical Adventure)
Action packed piece.
It takes you back to a time when the world is in an upheaval and gives us an insight into what it took to be in that world.
Not as good a Patrick O'Brian but I love 19th century sea ...
I really got into this series and bought all the books the author wrote (5 so far). Not as good a Patrick O'Brian but I love 19th century sea stories.
another great read
Another tale in Mr Hammond's history of the early stages of the American Navy. Thorough adherence to history interspersed with his great characters of the Cutler family. Thoroughly enjoyable and one of those books that have you looking up other events to see what happened in the historical framework
As usual a good story with not as much action as earlier books
