Résumé
In the War of 1812, control of Lake Ontario was key, and the battle for it lasted the longest. The feats and failures of the opposing commodores, Isaac Chauncey and Sir James Yeo, are described, as are the roles played… by key military and political leaders in shaping the course of the war. Features not only sea battles and raids, but shipwrecks, chases, and blockades, as well as the treacheries of egotists and the bravery of heroes. c1998.
