William James wrote his "Naval Occurrences of the War of 1812" to counter the bombastic, patriotic and false version of the war put forward by American authors.
William James was a lawyer before turning his hand to naval history. His most famous work, The Naval History of Great Britain, is also available from Conway. Andrew Lambert is Laughton Professor of Naval History at King's College London and a renowned expert on William James.
