He's definitely one of the finest sea commanders the world has ever seen.

Good to see Thomas Cochran get some well deserved recognition. You call him “crazy” and “insane”, but the actions of a genius in their field of knowledge can appear crazy to the layman. Although his victories seem fantastical, they are far too numerous to be happenstance. He took the Roman adage, “Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat” (Fortune Favors the Bold), to a level we shall most likely never see again.

As a Brazilian, resident of Rio de Janeiro, I'm most delighted to watch an hour long documentary about such fascinating character as Thomas Cochrane. This video alone put to shame what our own schools teach about him this days. I honestly wanna say, thank you Kings and Generals! And keep up the most excellent work!
