The Naval War of 1812, written by the former president Theodore Roosevelt, deals with battles and naval technology used during the War of 1812 between the United States and the Great Britain. Roosevelt''s history is considered as one of the best on this particular topic and it had a great impact on the formation of the modern day U.S. Navy. At the beginning, the author gives the insight of the political and social conditions in Great Britain and America prior to the war. Roosevelt, then, discusses the naval war on both the Atlantic Ocean and the Great Lakes. Finally, the last chapter covers the Battle of New Orleans, the final major battle of the War of 1812.

Theodore Roosevelt was the twenty-sixth President of the United States. A leader of the Republican Party and of the Progressive Party, he was a Governor of New York and a professional historian, naturalist, explorer, hunter, author, and soldier. He was a Progressive reformer who sought to move the dominant Republican Party into the Progressive camp. He distrusted wealthy businessmen and dissolved forty monopolistic corporations as a "trust buster". He was clear, however, to show he did not disagree with trusts and capitalism in principle but was only against corrupt, illegal practices. Roosevelt was a great personality, a great activist, a great preacher of the moralities, a great controversialist, a great showman. He dominated his era.

"The Autobiography of Theodore Roosevelt" is an invaluable literary work and a true gift to readers, as it is a glimpse into the psyche of such an enigmatic historical figure. Roosevelt led a life rich in accomplishments not limited to his being the youngest president in US history.

He rose through the political ranks to become Governor of New York; Vice President; Police Commissioner of New York City; Assistant Secretary of the Navy; and Colonel of the Rough Riders; all by the age of 42, when he also became the youngest man ever to hold the office of President (for two terms). The Wisdom of Theodore Roosevelt presents his words and ideas on a range of subjects, personal and political, and provides a fascinating picture of his personality and beliefs as they evolved over time.

Early travels of the 26th U.S. President.

Theodore Roosevelt''s letters are now accessible in this single-volume compendium of the most revealing of the former president''s correspondence.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) lived an extraordinary life: war hero, twenty-sixth president, reformer, historian, conservationist recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, author, and explorer. But it was the navy that most fascinated him throughout his long and varied career, and it was in The Naval War of 1812 (published in 1882 when he was only twenty-three) that he first declared his interest.Praised for its scholarship, assurance, and originality, this classic naval history offers stirring and comprehensive accounts of the war''s dramatic naval battles, and of the American and English commanders who fought on the vast North American lakes and on the ocean for control of the continent. The book proved instrumental in securing Roosevelt''s appointment as Assistant Secretary of the Navy in 1897, and decisively influenced the U.S. Navy''s transformation from a skeletal isolationist force into a formidable international sea power that made U.S. expansionism not only possible but inevitable.

Selected from the memorial ed. of the Works of Theodore Roosevelt, published 1923-26.
