In the tradition of Margaret MacMillan’s Paris 1919 comes a new consideration of Canada’s most famous war and the Treaty of Ghent that unsatisfactorily concluded it, from one of this country’s premier military historians.
In the Canadian imagination, the War of 1812 looms large. It was a war in which British and Indian troops prevailed in almost all of the battles, in which the Americans were unable to hold any of the land they fought for, in which a young woman named Laura Secord raced over the Niagara peninsula to warn of American plans for attack (though how she knew has never been discovered), and in which Canadian troops burned down the White House. Competing American claims insist to this day that, in fact, it was they who were triumphant.
But where does the truth lie? Somewhere in the middle, as is revealed in this major new reconsideration from one of Canada’s master historians. Drawing on never-before-seen archival material, Zuehlke paints a vibrant picture of the war’s major battles, vividly re-creating life in the trenches, the horrifying day-to-day manoeuvring on land and sea, and the dramatic negotiations in the Flemish city of Ghent that brought the war to an unsatisfactory end for both sides. By focusing on the fraught dispute in which British and American diplomats quarrelled as much amongst themselves as with their adversaries, Zuehlke conjures the compromises and backroom deals that yielded conventions resonating in relations between the United States and Canada to this very day.

“Canadian troops burned down the White House”
First time I heard of this!
August 16th, 2023
To be honest it was the British as Canada as a nation did not exist at that time. I saw in a documentary about the White House that they found burnt timbers that were painted over. It was not a true loss yet the British troops did a number on the Americans.

Yes, I’ve always seen “the British” identified as the culprits. Calling them Canadians makes this author sound desperate to manufacture historical relevance for Canadians.

Nick_Kerr if you had done the bare minimum and read the book blurb, you would see how dumb you sound since the author is not saying that at all.
You are commenting on a author and book, based solely on what the commenter before you wrote. You could not be more lazy, stupid & ignorant if you tried.
BTW they did call it Canada and themselves Canadian before it was official and the Canadian militia units fought many battles throughout the war of 1812 and killed many Americans. Americans have tried to invade Canada many times and have always got their asses handed to them - just like with Iran. OUCH! Iran = worst military defeat in US empire history.
