Product Description

Based almost exclusively on primary sources and impeccable in its scholarship, this heavily illustrated book is the first full-length study of the battle during the War of 1812. The absorbing narrative features not only sea battles and raids, but shipwrecks, chases, and blockades, as well as the treacheries of egotists and the bravery of heroes.
