War of 1812

(4) YA America at War series. Five previously published historical surveys have been updated to include a few contemporary references (e.g., the War of 1812 is compared with the September 11 attacks), stronger bibliographies, and additional (if not always well reproduced) black-and-white illustrations. These books are incontestably thorough but, due to the authors' generally dry writing styles, somewhat unexciting. Glos., ind. [Review covers these America at War titles: Civil War, Spanish-American War, War of 1812, U.S.-Mexican War, and Revolutionary War.]
