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 warÂ—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.
