# The Naval War of 1812

_Or the History of the United States Navy during the Last War with Great Britain to Which Is Appended an Account of the Battle of New Orleans_

By Theodore Roosevelt.

"The Naval War of 1812" by Theodore Roosevelt is a historical work published in 1882. Roosevelt's first book analyzes naval battles between American and British forces during the War of 1812, examining both sides' strengths and weaknesses through original documents. Written when Roosevelt was just twenty-three, this technical study challenged him to master naval terminology while assessing commanders' performances with unflinching honesty. The work profoundly influenced American naval policy and Roosevelt's own career, eventually helping shape America's rise as a world power. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
