The sixth volume in the award-winning series profiling the American
perspective in the Age of Sail, No Sacrifice Too Great, chronicles the
swashbuckling adventures of the Cutler family as the United States takes
on Great Britain in the War of 1812. Richard Cutler and his two sons,
William and James, serve in the US Navy, weak in number of ships but
strong in experience and fighting spirit. Battles in which the family
participates include high seas drama between Constitution and HMS
Guerriere, fleet engagements on Lake Erie and Lake Champlain, the siege
of Baltimore, and the epic Battle of New Orleans.
