reviewed 1812: War with America on September 27, 2012 1812: War with America
An excellent, comprehensive history of the War of 1812. Latimer provides in-depth coverage of all the issues involved, such as the New England federalists that traded with the British during the war and considered secession.
Latimer's book is particularly strong on the Anglo-Canadian perspective and also does a good job setting the war in the context of the Napoleonic Wars. Latimer does a good job covering the American political factions that supported England (who in reality did not actually impress that many Americans on the high seas), France (even though Napoleon arguably caused more harm to US interests than the British), or neutrality to whatever extent, as well as the War Hawks.
Latimer does a good job describing how unprepared the US was for war; the US army was easily one of the worst in existence at the time. And unfortunately for the US, the army's more able officers such as Winfield Scott or Jacob Brown were unable to contribute much due to their confinement to relatively unimportant theaters.
