The book includes political and strategic aspects and captures the essence of various commanders and politicians - competent and otherwise. All the big land battles are included, such as Lundy's Lane, Bladensburg, Detroit, New Orleans, and more, as well as the naval battles of the USS Constitution, President, Essex, and other famous ships.
The prose moves along well enough to keep you reading and the details embedded in battles and operations provide a clear picture of historical considerations and outcomes. The work covers sea and land operations in a one-volume treatment of the war. The name and cover suggest a study of the naval war during the War of 1812, but never judge the book by its cover.
