"If our first struggle was that of our infancy, this last was that of our youth; and the issue of both, wisely improved, may long postpone if not forever prevent a necessity for exerting the strength of our manhood.".......James Madison

First Copy of 1812

I've received the first copy of 1812: The Navy's War. It looks great. The Basic Books staff did a wonderful job putting the book together. So exciting to see it in print. You will be able to view it in the bookstores on October 4. Be sure to check the events page (link over on the righthand sidebar) to see when I'll be talking at a bookstore or event near you. Would love to say hello and have a chat.
