The Naval War of 1812

Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore ‘Teddy’ Roosevelt’s famed thesis provides an authoritive, balanced approach to both sides of the naval war of 1812, and is still considered the foremost work in the field. The book covers both the Atlantic theatre and the Great Lakes theatre in detail and provides substantial weight to the personalities and moral impacts of each engagement. The book is considered the foundation for naval military history as a separate area of study.
