This classic chronicle of the War of 1812 is a stirring, poetical account of the new nation of the United States and its failed attempt to complete North America's break from Britain by taking over Canada. With a particular emphasis on the war at sea, naval expert Paine puts in the middle of the action as frigates duel and cruisers battle in the new U.S. navy's first serious challenge. Cosimo is proud to offer this replica of the beautifully illustrated 1921 first edition, sure to thrill history fans and naval buffs alike. RALPH DELAHAYE PAINE (1871-1925) wrote numerous books of history and adventure on the sea, including Cadet of the Black Star Line (1910), Judgments of the Sea, and Other Stories (1912), and Lost Ships and Lonely Seas (1921).
