    "This interpretive biography of Matthew Calbraith Perry - the first to appear in well over thirty years - offers a balanced assessment of the commodore's long and varied career as one of the U.S. Navy's preeminent officers of the antebellum era. Best remembered for leading a naval and diplomatic expedition to Japan in 1853, Perry succeeded where others before him had failed with the signing of a treaty that established formal diplomatic relations between the United States and Japan and ended Japan's isolation from the West. To this day Perry remains a respected figure in Japan as well as in the United Slates."--Jacket

In this revealing portrait, Spencer Tucker describes Foote as emblematic of a period of great change in the American navy. The first study of the admiral to be published in more than 100 years, this work makes an important contribution to the literature of the period.
