Amateurs, to Arms! – A Military History of the War of 1812 – Historical Book – Algonquin Books from Algonquin Books

Description

Begun in ignorance of the military facts of life, fought with raw troops, mostly incompetent officers, and inadequate logistics, the War of 1812 was a near disaster for the fledgling United States. This new volume in Algonquin’s Major Battles and Campaigns series tells how our country’s most unmilitary war was fought and almost lost.
