This comprehensive and authoritative history of the War of 1812, thoroughly revised for the 200th anniversary of the historic conflict, is a myth-shattering study that will inform and entertain students, historians, and general listeners alike.

Donald R. Hickey explores the military, diplomatic, and domestic history of our second war with Great Britain, bringing the study up to date with recent scholarship on all aspects of the war, from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada. The newly expanded The War of 1812: A Forgotten Conflict, Bicentennial Edition includes additional information on the British forces, American Indians, and military operations - such as the importance of logistics and the use and capabilities of weaponry.

Hickey explains how the war promoted American nationalism and manifest destiny, stimulated peacetime defense spending, and enhanced America's reputation abroad. He also shows that the war sparked bloody conflicts between pro-war Republican and anti-war Federalist neighbors, dealt a crippling blow to American Indians, and solidified the United States's antipathy toward the British.

"A well-researched and extensively documented overview of the causes and consequences of the War of 1812. Highly recommended as an inclusive political, military, and social treatment of a customarily neglected war." ( American Library Association Booklist)
"Despite being forgotten and overlooked, the War of 1812 was a significant milestone in the development of the United States... there is no better place to start than with The War of 1812." ( Civil War News)
"The definitive study." ( Journal of American History)

Although the War of 1812 was technically a draw, it was a transition from infant nation to a child that was getting ready for adolescence.
I would have enjoyed a bit more about the personalities; leaders in the ships in the field of battle.
A bit more about the supporting cast of the Indians and Canadians would have been interesting.

More economics and politics than battles

I rather liked the book, being interested in the war of 1812, but the reader is rather monotone and boring, and the way the author presents information is poor in my opinion. The author, instead of chronologically, discusses the war based on different topics on a year to year basis. I feel the book could have been presented in a much better manner than the disjointed one that currently exists, it feels more like a collection of articles rather than a book.

A disjointed and out of order history of the War of 1812z

Cut out all the weights, measures and exchange rates and this would be a much better audio book. The reading also seemed rushed.

Too detailed for an audio book

The subject matter was very interesting and the author has accumulated a tremendous amount of previously unknown information. To this he adds great insight acquired through his studies. However, the dryness of the presentation detracted greatly from my enjoyment. This was partly due to the manuscript itself, but was exacerbated by the reader's presentation style. It was at times painful to listen to, but as I was interested in the subject, perseverance ultimately got me through it.

The reader/presenter of the book reads it like a college professor. No emotion or a change in tone. Sort of like the ghost who taught history in the Harry Potter Books!

Very comprehensive timeline of facts. Made it clear why this conflict is largely forgotten within the syllabus of history in our public schools.

Informative

I enjoyed this book. Very good historical overview of the war - politically and militarily. I saw many parallels with more contemporary events. I did have some trouble keeping events in proper chronological order. FBG

Good book.
