Heidler's War of 1812
A very well written historical review with all essential details, but a minimum of non-essential ones. Insightful and even witty. Highly recommended for understanding this war, on its 200th anniversary.

Not exciting...reads like a text book
Purchased by accident as gift (got confused scanning all the War of 1812 books). My husband said it was not an exciting book, "It reads like a text book". History can and should be exciting and so should the telling of it. I disliked History throughout school, (dry text books), until after college when I started reading History for pleasure. P.S. Still can't...

A detailed history of America's "second war of independence",
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The War of 1812 (Hardcover)
The latest addition to the "Greenwood Guides to Historic events, 1500-1900" series, The War Of 1812 is collaboratively written by author David S. Heidler and historian Jeanne T. Heidler (Professor of History, United States Air Force Academy). The War Of 1812 is a meticulous and detailed history of America's "second war of independence" that is places the battles, events, personalities, and ramifications into a social and historical context. Timelines, biographies of major figures, excerpts of primary accounts, and a great deal more round out this informed and informative account that is a welcome and highly recommended addition to school and community library American History reference collections.
