In the past 200 years, publication of titles related to the War of 1812 has been relatively modest — the struggle having been eclipsed in American minds by the 1861-1865 U.S. Civil War. Now, Bowker has compiled a list of more than 994 books published about the war, including updated bicentennial editions of The War of 1812: A Forgotten Conflict by Donald R. Hickey, and The War of 1812: Conflict for a Continent by J.C.A. Stagg. This year’s output includes reprints of classics, such as The Naval War of 1812 by Theodore Roosevelt, first published in 1882 and recounting the exploits of the U.S.S. Constitution, to children’s nonfiction, including Francis Scott Key’s Star-Spangled Banner by Monica Kulling.
