Summary
"In the first complete history of the War of 1812 written from a British perspective, Jon Latimer offers an authoriative and compelling account that places the conflict in its strategic context within the Napoleonic wars. The British viewed the War of 1812 as an ill-fated attempt by the young American republic to annex Canada. For British Canada, populated by many loyalists who had fled the American Revolution, this was a war of survival." From the bookjacket.
