From the Inside Flap:
lle’s most popular novels during his lifetime―and the subject of renewed interest in recent decades―White-Jacket is both a brisk sea adventure and a powerful social critique. Based on Melville’s own experiences, it explores the fascinating and often harrowing world of a naval fighting ship, the Neversink. The ship becomes for Melville a microcosm of America itself; its hierarchy, social divisions, and cruel practices suggest larger injustices, including slavery.
