Nice little slice of history. Helpful for filling in my many gaps in understanding. A little bit of nautical warfare, ground warfare, and politics all mixed in. Plus, a touch of Waterloo to boot.

Danzaiss If your into early american history, I recommend: The War That Made America: A Short History of the French and Indian War, by Fred Anderson. I read it last year and liked it. It expanded my understanding of the conditions that lead to the American revolution.
