The Kent County Republican Central Committee invites the public to attend a reception and book signing with Dr. Ronald D. Utt, author of Ships of Oak, Guns or Iron, The War of 1812 and the Forging of the American Navy. Dr. Utt will speak on Friday, June 14th at 6:00 pm at the newly opened GOP headquarters, TheRok@327High, Chestertown.
Dr. Utt, in his book, not only sheds new light on the naval battles of the War of 1812 and how they gave birth to our nation’s great navy, but also tells the story of the War of 1812 through the portraits of famous American war heroes. Dr. Utt relates how thousands of American men and boys gave better than they got against the British Navy.
Dr. Utt is a writer and retired fellow of The Heritage Foundation. He frequently appears on C-SPAN, FOX News, and is often quoted in the Washington Post, New York Times, Wall Street Journal and other leading newspapers. Dr. Utt served in the Reagan Administration and was Managing Director for Novecon, Ltd, a company focusing on trade and business development with the former Soviet Union.
