ISBN10: 057127319X, ISBN13: 9780571273195, [publisher: Faber & Faber, United Kingdom, London] Softcover In the summer of 1812 Britain stood alone, fighting for her very survival against a vast European Empire. Only the Royal Navy stood between Napoleon's legions and ultimate victory. In that dark hour America saw its chance to challenge British dominance: her troops invaded Canada and American frigates attacked British merchant shipping, the lifeblood of British defence.
