Why read it?

1 author picked The War of 1812 and the Rise of the U.S. Navy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

My son loves this book because it’s about history, his favorite subject right now. It covers an interesting part of history: the naval components of the war of 1812. It was a new topic for him, and he loved that the book really demonstrates what navel battles really looked like back then. Like that the goal was to capture ships, not sink them.
