by William S. Dudley, Ph.D

A detailed work of original research and synthesis that covers naval operations, administration, and logistics of the Naval War of 1812. This is a balanced account in terms of American and British challenges, responses, and lessons learned. It portrays what it took for the small U.S. Navy to cope with the the Royal Navy, then the world's most largest and most successful maritime force. The author explains that the USN used a combination of skill, innovation, and adaptation to survive and hold the enemy at bay until the negotiation and ratification of an honorable peace treaty.
