1812: The Navy's War ReviewOften, books don't live up to the hype in the "blurbs" written in the editorial reviews. In this case, though, they are on the money. This book is exciting to read. That "can't put it down" quality isn't something I find in this genre often, but 1812 kept me up until the wee hours last night. It's a new perspective, meticulously researched and beautifully drawn. Highly recommended whether you are an 1812 fan, a fan of naval history, or even someone who typically shies away from military history -- I'd have to agree with one of the editorial reviews that says every American should read this book.1812: The Navy's War OverviewAt the outbreak of the War of 1812, America's prospects looked dismal. It was clear that the primary battlefield would be the open ocean-but America's war fleet, only twenty ships strong, faced a practiced British navy of more than a thousand men-of-war. Still, through a combination of nautical deftness and sheer bravado, the American navy managed to take the fight to the British and turn the tide of the war: on the Great Lakes, in the Atlantic, and even in the eastern Pacific.
In 1812: The Navy's War, prizewinning historian George C. Daughan tells the thrilling story of how a handful of heroic captains and their stalwart crews overcame spectacular odds to lead the country to victory against the world's greatest imperial power. A stunning contribution to military and national history, 1812: The Navy's War is the first complete account in more than a century of how the U.S. Navy rescued the fledgling nation and secured America's future.
