Summary: A vividly recounted, event-by-event survey
Review: The Invasion Of Canada: Battles Of The War Of 1812 by historian Ronald J. Dale (Superintendent of Niagara National Historic Sites) ably recounts the United States' invasion of Canada during the war of 1812, when Thomas Jefferson declared that annexing Canada would be "a mere matter of marching." Yet fierce battles would make him regret those words. The Invasion Of Canada offers the reader a vividly recounted, event-by-event survey of this relatively neglected aspect of American/Canadian history, as well as the men who became Canadian legends. Full-color photographs enhance this superbly written, highly recommended historical account.
