Sea Power in its Relations to the War of 1812 Volume 2

A history of this war plays to Mahan's strengths, since this war, in its causes, prosecution, and consequences was almost entirely naval. The major causes, for example, were British restrictions on American trade with Europe, and British impressment of mostly British seamen serving on American merchant ships. Even though the British did burn the public buildings of Washington, DC, the well-known battles were naval: Even the battle of New Orleans had a large naval component.

Mahan's clear explanations are very enlightening, all the way from his discussion of the ultimate cause the Navigation Act of , supported by subsequent policy, which effectively allowed no place for former colonies to the final impetus for Britain to agree to peace an accurate judgment of the military situation from no less an authority than Lord Wellington himself.

The Brits could have finished us off any time they wanted to, they didn't want the war to BEGIN with, and Jefferson and Madison's presidencies and the way they sucked the USA into war Jefferson and kept us under strength Madison are incredible to read about. If it has to do with anything regarding sea power, Mahan is the man to go to.
