"... the book is important in giving the American reader a full understanding of the war from the British/Canadian perspective." -- Arnold Blumberg -- Journal of the War of 1812, January 2001 "The authors have done impressive research in order to fill the gaps with reliable ... details. The book is a useful recounting of neglected aspects of our colonial ... history." -- Chris Raible -- The Beaver, August 2000 "This is a clearly written, well-organized introduction to the War of 1812.
