About This Item
Annapolis, Maryland, U.S.A.: Naval Inst Pr, 2004. New book, 408 pages, slight shelf wear to cover. This contraversial book was first published in 1817 in response to the exaggerated and false accounts then circulating in America and Britain regarding the apparent recent successes of the United States Navy over the Royal Navy in supposedly equal combats. William James applied himself to assembling the facts and proved that, despite the 'powder puff' history of American writers - 'no American ship of war has, after all, captured a British ship of war, of the same force; but that the reverse has occured, and might have occured again, and again, had the Americans been willing to fight, as they are still to boast.' The distinguished naval historian Andrew Lambert here presents this key text whole with a new introduction, while the appendices, which contain a wealth of correspondence and eyewitness accounts of the many famous actions of the ware, are reproduced in full. Hard Cover. As New/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
