About This Book:

Title: 1812: War With America

Other Available Formats:
Hardcover, 2007

Synopsis
Once the least studied, and least understood, war fought by Americans, the War of 1812 is gaining attention from a curious general public. In this comprehensive history, Jon Latimer provides, first, a thorough assessment of the causes and contributing factors at the start of the hostilities, including the belief that America wanted to take over and annex the territory known as Canada. He then provides a dramatic account of the many battles on land and sea, some of which, between American, British, and Indian forces, were fierce. 1812 is interesting for the fact that Latimer is a British historian who brings a fresh perspective to the subject.
