Theodore Roosevelt’s landmark work of military history: The definitive account of the War of 1812.

First published in 1882, The Naval War of 1812 established Theodore Roosevelt’s reputation as a noteworthy historian and scholar at just twenty-three years old. Four years later, the US Navy ordered copies of the book to be kept on every ship.

With exhaustive research into all levels of the conflict, Roosevelt presented an illuminating account of the political grievances between the United States and Britain, as well as the virtues and weaknesses of ship commanders on both sides. He demonstrated an impressive understanding of naval technology, detailing weaponry and ship designs and their effects on the outcome of each battle.

Refuting previous accounts of the war, Roosevelt bluntly criticized America’s military weaknesses in the face of the British fleet. Though The Naval War of 1812 initially stirred controversy in political circles, Roosevelt’s persuasive analysis inspired a movement to strengthen our national defense.

About the Author

Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt (1858–1919) was the governor of New York before becoming the vice president of the United States. At age forty-two, Roosevelt became the youngest man to assume the US presidency after President William McKinley was assassinated in 1901. Beloved by the masses, Roosevelt fought for citizen fairness, railroad regulations, and national park conservation. In 1906, Roosevelt received the Nobel Peace Prize for his successful efforts to end the Russo-Japanese War. Besides his active career in politics, Roosevelt was an avid writer, publishing over ninety pieces in his lifetime, including Theodore Roosevelt: An Autobiography, TheNaval War of 1812, and Rough Riders.

Content is fine, Layout is poor

The Naval War of 1812

The content of the book is fine, but the layout is difficult to read. It's printed on large pages in a single column with a small font, resulting is great, huge blocks of difficult-to-read text.

TR’s First Book—A Labor of Patriotism

Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2020

Verified Purchase

TR was a college student at Harvard when he began writing this book, but the book had a distinct patriotic purpose. English historians belittled the US Navy and its successes during this war—something that infuriated him. This book was the first effort at being a vigorous defender of Americanism.

This book is a classic

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book was first published nearly 140 years ago. There are no surprises. I cannot think of anything I could say about this book that is new or different from what has been said before.
