336465 Belknap Press of Harvard University Press Massachusetts USA 2009 Paperback Edition Soft Cover New 637 pages, black & white illustration, maps, index, bibliography, notes. In the first complete history of the War of 1812 written from a British perspective, Jon Latimer offers an authoritative and compelling account that places the conflict in its strategic context within the Napoleonic wars. The British viewed the War of 1812 as an ill-fated attempt by the young American republic to annex Canada. For British Canada, populated by many loyalists who had fled the American Revolution, this was a war for survival. The Americans aimed both to assert their nationhood on the global stage and to expand their territory northward and westward. ISBN: 9780674034778 $30.00AUD
