From the Publisher
It was by far the bloodiest, most dramatic, and longest-running war
to take place on Canadian soil. Full of acts of great folly and
great courage, and marked by the actions of larger-than-life
characters, such as General Isaac Brock and Tecumseh, it left
Canadians and Americans with a clearer sense of who they were - or
who they were not. It taught the British a lesson on the limits of
power, and the Natives on the western frontier lost their last hope
of a homeland secure from western expansion. Author and historian
Victor Suthren has written a dramatic and informative book on this
pivotal moment in our past, unravelling the story of a complex
struggle, and bringing the battles and the many fascinating
personalities vividly to life. The result is an excitingly written,
heavily illustrated, full-colour history. Written to tie in with
History TV's mini-series "The War of 1812," this book draws on
research done for that television series.
