Review Quotes
Glyndwr Williams | International History Review
"The world of Pacificc scholarship owes a considerable debt to John Dunmore, whose monographs, editions of journals, and articles . . . have documented the exploits of French navigators in the great ocean. . . . Dunmore is particularly effective in using the journals to convey the claustrophobic, often squalid conditions on ships crowded with men and animals. . . . [Dunmore’s two biographies] provide readbale and balanced accounts of the lives of two navigators who to many in the English-speaking world are little more than names."
Book News
"Storms and Dreams opens a window to a remarkable eighteenth-century life--and to the greater world of the Enlightenment. . . . [Dunmore] brings the man to life in this lively, vivid and elegant biography."
