With the outbreak of the Battle of 1812, America's prospects looked dismal. It had been clear that the primary battlefield will be the open ocean, but America's conflict fleet, only 20 ships strong, encountered a practiced United kingdom navy of more than a thousand men-of-war. Still, by having a combo of nautical deftness and sheer bravado, the American navy were able to take the attack to the United kingdom and convert the tide of the conflict: on the Great Lakes, in the Atlantic, and even in the eastern Pacific. In 1812: The Navy's Battle, prize-winning historian George C. Daughan tells the thrilling report of how a couple of heroic captains and their stalwart crews overcame stunning chances to lead the country to victory up against the world's greatest imperial power. A sensational contribution to armed forces and national background, 1812: The Navy's Battle is the first complete profile in greater than a century of how the U.S. Navy rescued the fledgling region and secured America's future.
