Sea Power in its Relations to the War of 1812, Volume 2 (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

Courage, loyalty, and service to the state are among the virtues extolled here by Mahan, the father of modern sea power theory. This authoritative 1905 history is based on his lectures as president of the Naval War College. Volume Two takes the story from the winter of 1812/3 and Bainbridge’s Squadron to the peace negotiations which ended the war in February of 1815.
