1812 :

the war for Canada : a war with a year named after it

Plot

This book takes a more light-hearted look at the War of 1812, mostly from the Canadian side."Even in war there can be humour. Even in the War of 1812 which resulted in horrendous casualties and hardship. "War makes rattling good history; but peace is poor reading, said Thomas Hardy (1840-1928). But there is humour in hindsight when chronicled by relentless researcher Geoffrey Corfield who lets the actual ironies, follies, twists of fate and weather, paradoxes, and human perversity tell their own tale." -- from the back cover of this volume
