""1812" brought the war to life with a quick yet thorough history. I enjoyed the details of the naval battles on the Great Lakes, and the descriptions of the follies of the war were jaw-dropping."
"I didn't know much about the War of 1812, so I thought this would be an interesting read. Frankly, it wasn't, but I am not sure if it was the book itself or the War of 1812. The book does pick up quite a bit at the end, when the author covers the burning of Washington by the British, the Battle of New Orleans, and the conclusion of the war."
