Why read it?

1 author picked Henry Martyn as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I loved this book because Henry Martyn is a cunning and dreaded pirate.

I also enjoyed this book because of its huge scope and the way it highlights the weaknesses of an overextended central government that is unable to provide justice for its citizens.

From I. Graham's list on underdogs overcoming great odds.
