Invasion of Canada, The
Battles of the War of 1812
by Ronald J. Dale
On June 18, 1812, the United States declared war on Great Britain—the most powerful nation in the world. Britain was in the midst of a long and perilous struggle with Napoleon’s France. In this book Ron Dale traces the course of this gruelling two-year conflict, bringing to life people and engagements that have become legendary in Canada: General Brock’s stand at Queenston Heights, Tecumseh’s death at Moraviantown, Laura Secord’s epic trek through the woods.
