Republican Women: Feminism and Conservatism from Suffrage Through the Rise of the New Right Book

The Final Invasion by David Fitz-Enz is not only about the battle of Plattsburgh, but many other aspects of the state of the American and British nations. He really goes in depth on military strategies, economic concerns, and political drama. The book is so dense with information; most of the small details I have already forgotten. The book was not intensely gripping, however, not something to put one asleep either.
The book was most interesting to me when the author would tell little stories about important figures. It was also interesting learning about the personal grudges some of the military officers held with each other; sometimes people would completely disregard orders from their general because of minor personal conflicts. This book will probably help me out later in my US history class too.
My biggest criticism of the book is its organization. He would suddenly change the entire subject in the middle of a chapter. In the beginning, he talks about British conflicts with the French in the late 1700s, then discusses smuggling goods across the Canadian border. His transitioning of ideas seemed to confuse me at times.
Fitz-Enz wrote a historically accurate book about a more obscure, but important battle in American history. I do believe he could have made it more interesting for us with shorter attention spans, but overall it was well written. If history textbooks bore you to death, then this book won't be your favorite. On the other hand, history nerds will gather lots of information about a period seldom talked about of America's history.
