The sixth and final title of this series is devoted to what Roosevelt described as "the unnecessary war", the naval war of 1812 which was provoked by mutual misunderstandings and prosecuted without clear aims on either side. As with the rest of the series, the emphasis is on eyewitness material, including diaries, journals and sketchbooks of the participants, to provide a detailed pictorial history of the war.
