The letters, the speeches the correspondence available in this book is second to none and were very interesting to say the least. The book does shoot off from time to time, it doesn't follow in line with events as it happened, but its all informative nonetheless.My only issue with this book is that it omits the causes of the war of 1812, which was what I really wanted to know. The book starts with the first invasion as it may be said and goes on from there. Its really astounding at the amount of mistakes that were made in this war by the administration, especially on land, in the beginnings of the war and the unfortunate burning of Washington. And Adams is quick to add some humor in poking fun at the inconsistencies of the administration during this time.I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in an extensive history of the war itself, most notably someone who is deeply interested in military history for it is very specific. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Definitive Account of this Forgotten Conflict *by I***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2013* The War of 1812 by Henry Adams is part of a larger work by the same about the Jefferson and Madison Administrations. In this regard it is important to remember that Henry Adams is directly descended from John Adams and John Quincy Adams, who were political rivals to Jefferson and Madison.This book is written from the viewpoint of a diplomatic and political expert and so the descriptions of the various battles are heavy with the implications for the politicians involved.The book contains sketches and maps of the battles and geographical locations where the conflict took place. The sketches are interesting as they are made by the engineers and cartographers involved in the fighting and they reflect the geographical knowledge at the time.Most especially interesting is the account of the war at sea. Adams writes in-depth about the opposing ships of the Royal and US Navies and has great insight on the activities of privateers.For serious scholars of The War of 1812, this is the first book one should read. It is well written with a cool, ironic detachment throughout. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent way to provide depth to your knowledge of the time *by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2013* This book is an excellent source of information about the war, from the American point of view. Adams provides a detailed look behind the scenes of the American military and political aspects of the war. He does have his biases, but I found that they are easy to identify and in no way took away from the body as a whole. (In my opinion, all historians have biases and it is refreshing to see one that doesn't try to say otherwise.)I highly recommend this book along with other 1812 histories like the books by MacKay Hitsman(Canadian) and Jon Latimer(English). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/9188011-the-war-of-1812-paperback-september-28-1999](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/9188011-the-war-of-1812-paperback-september-28-1999) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
