Industry Reviews
"Few writers at any time have told of sea action so well, and the blood is stirred by Mr. Forester's account of the early fights."
Young
"This book deserves to stand beside Mahan's and Roosevelt's, for it delineates the role of the Naval War of 1812 in helping America to discover its national identity."
Young
"A concise, gracefully written, and remarkably objective history of the naval part of the War of 1812."
Young
"Perhaps the best book on the subject since Theodore Roosevelt's. As might be expected, the creator of Captain Hornblower writes of frigate actions with a masterful hand. In his text the major sea battles are storied in salty style."
