Constitution vs Guerriere
Description
Constitution vs. Guerriere, the latest installment in Osprey's Duel series, is one of the first to cover actions between pre-industrial era weapons (in addition to Victory vs. Redoubtable). This volume covers the four "classic" actions between American and British frigates in 1812 and it does it very well. Early on, the author makes the point that these actions were viewed with great pride by the winning side, but that they actually contributed little to military objectives. Overall, this volume is well written, data supports the main conclusions and it is graphically attractive. However, it is primarily intended for readers who want information in-depth and some technical analysis, rather than just a nautical look at the War of 1812.
