For Honour's Sake: The War Of 1812 And The Brokering Of An Uneasy Peace (2007)

About book For Honour's Sake: The War Of 1812 And The Brokering Of An Uneasy Peace (2007)

The War of 1812 lasted a little over two years. The U.S. wanted to increase their territory, so they invaded Canada (or what was to later become Canada). The British, Canadians, French-Canadians, and Indians all fought back and in fact, won almost all the battles, though the one battle convincingly won by the Americans, The Battle of New Orleans, was just after the peace treaty was signed. I'm sure I learned a bit about this war in high school, but I don't remember. I really knew very little about the war going into reading the book (except that the White House was burned – I know that because of a song). I have to admit that I had a hard time getting into the book and a hard time focusing. I still learned some from what I was able to focus on and I'd still be willing to read more about it. Overall, I'm rating it ok.
