Turbulence for America . . .

A reviled president, lackluster leadership, battle tactics both inept and brilliant, profiteering with the enemy, threats of secession, warfare by public opinion, political blustering ... the War of 1812 has it all.

Originally published as chapters in Adams' multi-volume History of the United States, in the late 1800s, they were collected for this volume in 1944. It provides a thorough and fascinating overview of a rarely-discussed war between the United States and the British Empire.
