| | 1. |  | 1812: The War That Forged a Nation (P.S.)
from Harper Perennial
Price: $2.68
Customer Review:
Walter R. Borneman's "1812, The War That Forged A Nation" is a readable and well-written account of one of America's least understood conflicts. The book begins and ends with the political moves in both Washington and London that brought about the war, but the bulk of the narrative is operational... more info

from University of Illinois Press

Customer Review:
Even 20 years after its publication, this work remains one of the finest treatments of the War of 1812. It is especially strong on the diplomacy and domestic politics of the period. The writer's style, though a bit dry, is nevertheless thoroughly readable.

from University of Illinois Press
Price: $6.99
Customer Review:
While Hickey has an excellent command of the facts, his conclusions are born of political spin - selectively engaged facts to build a narrative that is more self-satisfaction than scholarly analysis.
His thesis, that the war was manufactured for political positioning and had little consequence... more info

| | 5. |  | 1812: War with America
from Belknap Press of Harvard University Press
Price: $12.16
Customer Review:
Latimer's book feels like a definitive account of a conflict that is very poorly understood or studied. The book is obviously not written to be a dry recounting of troop movements or a collection of anecdotes strung together as some seem to be. The author is not shy about making some sharp comments,... more info

from Forge Books
Price: $0.01
Customer Review:
I was very disappointed with this book, for a number of reasons:
1. Way too much ink is wasted going over again and again the feelings of love between James and Dolly Madison and Andrew and Rachel Jackson Jackson. OK, we get it, but the prose is awful, even for a dime store novel.
2.... more info

This volume consists of the chapters taken from Henry Adams lengthy History of the United States. Those chapters dealing with the War of 1812 have been excerpted from the multi-volume set and placed into single volume format here. This is a classic work of its kind, but it is not an easy read. Henry... more info

from Da Capo Press
Price: $3.99
Customer Review:
This book does a good job of relating, in detail, all of the military movements and battles of the war. I would have liked more information about the political aspects of this war, but Mahon states at the beginning of this book that this is a purely military history and that is pretty much what it... more info
