"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

ABOUT THIS BOOK

"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.

This week I'll be at the Maine Coast Bookstore in Damariscotta, Maine. On Saturday, August 11, David Hanna and I will be discussing our books and the War of 1812 from 11-1. Should be quite interesting. Hope you can attend. We'll be answering any questions you may have.
