Osceola, Wisconsin: Osprey Publishing, 2002. 7th Printing. Soft Cover. Very Good. 6x0x9. 7th printing. A few scratches and scrapes to rear wrapper, light wear along edges. 2002 Soft Cover. 95 pp. The War of 1812-1815 was a bloody confrontation that tore through the American frontier, the British colonies of Upper and Lower Canada, and parts of the Atlantic coast and the Gulf of Mexico. The conflict saw British, American, and First Nations' forces clash, and in the process, shape the future of North American history. This exciting new volume explains what led to America's decision to take up arms against Great Britain and assesses the three terrible years of fighting that followed on land and sea, where battles such as Lake Erie and Lake Champlain launched American naval traditions.
