Thanks again Mr. Marrin!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Mr. Marrin brings to life a somewhat forgotten episode in US history. I liked the details about England and France that we tend to forget in looking at what we consider an "American Event". I just wish he would have given more of the Canadian perspective on the war. After living in Canada many years, I learned that Canada sees itself as the only "victor" in the war because it kept America from taking it over. Hope this book is eventually re-published.
An engrossing, overall view of the War of 1812
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This book provides a fascinating look into the causes of the War of 1812, as well as life for those fighting. The living conditions onboard British warships is detailed, giving the reader an understanding of why British sailors were deserting; thus leading to British impressment of American sailors. All subjects in the book are given the same in-depth treatment with gripping first-person accounts of naval and land battles.
