This is a grade-school level history. If all you are looking for is the details of some of the significant battles, this will be adequate. Unfortunately because it is so high level and so short, it is a bit choppy and does not present a cohesive picture and not enough detail.
I did not know much about The War of1812. This war was widespread, covering several states and Canada. The armies were both brilliantly used or sloppy when deployed. Communication was a problem. Its a short book, filled with comprehensive data from all sides as well as the aftermath
Very brief overview of the lead up and actions during the War of 1812.
