Inside the US Navy of 1812 -1815

The Naval War of 1812: America's Second War of Independence

The Naval War of 1812: America's Second War of Independence

Inside the U.S. Navy of 1812 -1815 book cover

What did it take—logistically and operationally—for the small and underfunded US Navy to face the battle-hardened Royal Navy in the War of 1812? Find out in this book, the magnum opus of one of the deans of American naval history.  


"One of the many pleasures of this book is the author's relationship with the men who lived two centuries ago.  In his hands they seem human and immediate. He is rarely judgemental, often offering a range of possible reasons for decisions gone wrong.  This is a volume centered in substantial part on bureaucracy, money, and materiel but is populated with compelling characters and inspiring heroes. This American story is a rich one and the writing absolutely engaging throughout. "

The Naval War of 1812: America's Second War of Independence

"Drs. William S. Dudley and J. Scott Harmon’s The Naval War of 1812 is a “Cadillac” on the “showroom floor” of War of 1812 writings. The print quality is truly superb.  One must open the book to hear the static cling seal give way to the incredible prints of 1812 battles, artifacts, and portraits. The battle scenes are accompanied by remarkable line drawings by Helen Riegle, who masterfully shows ship locations, headings, and land topography."

Maritime Maryland : A History

The Naval War of 1812: America's Second War of Independence

The Naval History of 1812: A Documentary History, Vol. II

C-Span Interview with William S. Dudley about Maritime Maryland.


"William Dudley's work makes a major contribution to the genre and deserves to be welcomed by students of both maritime history and current issues in cultural resource and environmental management.  And it deserves an audience far beyond the state of Maryland." 


- John A. Tilley, Nautical Research Journal


"Dudley successfully weaves the personal stories and antics.... into the larger context of Maryland's maritime past, providing the reader with colour and levity throughout."


- Claire P. Dappart, Illinois State Archeological Survey, University of Illinois, for The International   Journal of Nautical Archeology
