The American Invasion of Canada: The War of 1812's First Year

How could a nation of eight million fail to subdue a struggling British colony of 300,000? In this remarkable account of the warâ‚¬s first year, Pierre Burton transforms history into an engrossing narrative that reads like a fast-paced novel. Drawing on memoirs, diaries, and official dispatches, the author gets inside the characters who fought the war-the common soldiers, the generals, the bureaucrats and the profiteers, the traitors, and the loyalists. This is a gripping account of a fascinatingly complex war that shaped the boundaries of America as we know them today.
