Broke of the Shannon and the War of 1812

About this title:

"Two hundred years after one of the bloodiest naval duels of the age of sail, this vivid and wide-ranging new book brings fresh light to shine on an event that devastated a young American nation while restoring morale to the old country, shattered by three crushing naval defeats. Out of the battle, one captain, Broke, was to emerge as one of Britain's finest frigate commanders; the other, Captain Lawrence, died at the hands of the Royal Navy to assume the told of martyr in the eyes of his countrymen."
