New Orleans 1815: Andrew Jackson Crushes the British, Vol. 28
Without a doubt, so far it's the most peculiar book I've encountered in Osprey Campaign series. Not only is the choice of the subject matter a huge mystery to me - neither the war nor this particular campaign were of any real historical significance - but also, the tone of the author gives the impression of being strangely sardonic, at times even spiteful. In all other respects, it's a standard Osprey Campaign volume and since the scale of the engagement in question is rather small, the book is both informative and coherent. Graphics material consisting of first class maps, drawings mixed with contemporary art and photographs of the battlefield is, as always, worth especial praise.
