It was clear that the primary battlefield would be the open ocean -- but America's war fleet, only twenty ships strong, faced a practiced British navy of more than a thousand men-of-war. Still, through a combination of nautical deftness and sheer bravado, the American navy managed to take the fight to the British and turn the tide of the war: on the Great Lakes, in the Atlantic, and even in the eastern Pacific.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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68005761188128,"sku":"USED0465085997","price":9.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/518IhIVbwPL_b2afcae6-6214-4b6b-a32d-df141a5391b4.jpg?v=1793079927","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/1812-the-navys-war-0465085997-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
