The War of 1812 would either make America a global power sweeping all the way to the Pacific--or break it into small pieces bound to England. It was a second revolution of sorts to prove to the British that America had to be taken seriously. The principal actors in this drama were James and Dolley Madison, and Andrew and Rachel Jackson. Their courage and determination would shape America's destiny. National ads, including "USA Today".

Seller's Description:
Very Good. No Jacket. 12mo-over 6¾"-7¾" tall. 567 pp. First printing thus. There is slight stress creasing on the spine. The binding is tight and square, and the text is clean.
Enjoying this book is a good way to get a full picture of the War of 1812. I had read 2 non fiction accounts of the war before I opened this large book. This fiction fleshed out history, and caused me to want to read more. for instance, I became curious about Winfield Scott, and bought Eisenhower's biography of him to read next.
I would have given this book 5 stars except for the strong language which is a distraction to me.
