Napoleon's Troublesome Americans: Franco-American Relations, 1804-1815 by Peter P. Hill

From the back cover:  Shortly before the United States declared war on Great Britain in June 1812, Congress came within two votes of declaring war on Napoleon Bonaparte's French empire.  For six years, France and Britain had both seized American shipping.  While common wisdom says that America was virtually an innocent in this matter, caught in the middle of the epic wars between Britain and France, Peter Hill's exhaustive research in the French archives has uncovered a far more complex and interesting history.  By 1812, the United States was on a collision course with both Britain and France.  War with two major powers at once might have proven disastrous for the young country.  Hill's engaging narrative details the fascinating history of America's trouble relationship with Napoleon and how war with France was finally averted.
