But the book’s real value, and the pleasures it provides, lies in Toll’s grasp of the human dimension of his subject, often obscured in the dry tomes of naval historians. This first book by Toll, a former financial analyst and political speechwriter, is a fluent, intelligent history of American military policy from the early 1790s, when Congress commissioned six frigates to fight the Barbary pirates, through the War of 1812. “He prayed for war as a farmer would pray for rain and a lawyer would pray for lawsuits.” For a midshipman - a “young gentleman” - denied the chance to test his honor before enemy fire, a colleague’s pistol shot would have to do. Toll writes in “Six Frigates,” his superb history of the founding of America’s Navy. ![]() “The junior naval officer, done up in his high standing collar and gold lace, was as testy and vain as a fighting gamecock,” Ian W.

I don't get the feeling from the people I know, the people I see on the street, that they have something greater than themselves to believe in. This entire project comes from my feelings that we, modern men, are ronin. He remarked that "the aspect of the samurai that intrigues me most is the ronin, the masterless samurai, the fallen warrior. The ideas for Ronin came together while Miller was doing extensive research into kung fu films, martial arts, samurai comic books and samurai ethics for his work on Daredevil. The six-issue work shows some of the strongest influences of manga and bande dessinée on Miller's style, both in the artwork and narrative style. It takes place in a dystopic near-future New York City in which a ronin is reincarnated. The series was written and drawn by Frank Miller with artwork painted by Lynn Varley.
