Published when Theodore Roosevelt was only twenty-three years old, The Naval War
of 1812 was immediately hailed as a literary and scholarly triumph, and it is
still considered the definitive book on the subject. It caused considerable
controversy for its bold refutation of earlier accounts of the war, but its
brilliant analysis and balanced tone left critics floundering, changed the
course of U.S. military history by renewing interest in our obsolete forces, and
set the young author and political hopeful on a path to greatness. Roosevelt's
inimitable style and robust narrative make The Naval War of 1812 enthralling,
illuminating, and utterly essential to every armchair historian. The books in
the Modern Library War series have been chosen by series editor Caleb Carr
according to the significance of their subject matter, their contribution to the
field
of military history, and their literary merit.
