000470987 520__ $$aThis illustrated history invites readers to travel back in time and imagine what it would have been like to live through the War of 1812, America's forgotten conflict.  The book recounts the war's main battles and campaigns, from William Hull's ignominious surrender at Detroit in 1812 to Andrew Jackson's spectacular victory at New Orleans in 1815.  It describes Oliver H. Perry's remarkable victory on Lake Erie and the ensuing death of the great Shawnee leader Tecumseh. It chronicles the devastation on the Niagara Front as the balance of power shifted back and forth. It follows Thomas Macdonough as he executes a masterstroke on Lake Champlain, winning a great naval battle and saving upper New York from occupation.  Also included are the demoralizing British raids in the Chesapeake that culminated in the burning of Washington, D.C., and the successful defense of Baltimore that inspired Francis Scott Key to pen "The Star-Spangled Banner."  This book recaptures in detail not only the military history of the war but also its domestic and diplomatic history. The authors show why the fragile young republic, which was still a second-rate power, declared war against Great Britain, an established global power. They also explain why Americans remember the conflict as an unalloyed success, even though by the war's end, the United States faced military uncertainty, financial stress, a punishing British naval blockade, and the intractable opposition of Federalists in New England.
