Oliver Hazard Perry
Book (italiano):
Perry is best known for his post-Battle of Lake Erie proclamation: "We have met the enemy and they are ours." Drawing on Perry's correspondence with the Department of the Navy in the Oliver Hazard Perry archives at Bowling Green State University, Ohio, Skaggs (emeritus, history, Bowling Green) offers the first scholarly biography in many years of this War of 1812 naval hero. He also reassesses longstanding debates over battle reports by his second in command, which threatened Perry's reputation. The book includes a list of American and British squadron armaments for that battle, maps, and period illustrations. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
