"Hannings establishes himself as the chronicler par excellence of American military conflicts. Highly recommended"--Choice; "highly recommended"--Midwest Book Review; "another exceptional historical reference work by Marine veteran Bud Hannings...magnificent...a great reference source"--Leatherneck Magazine.

Although the American Revolution ended in 1783, tensions between the United States and Britain over disruptions to American trade, the impressment of American merchant sailors by British ships, and British support of Native American resistance to American expansion erupted in another military conflict nearly three decades later. Scarcely remembered in England today, the War of 1812 stood as a veritable ""second war of independence"" to the victorious Americans and ushered in an extended period of peaceful relations and trade between the United States and Britain. This major reference work offers a comprehensive day-by-day chronology of the War of 1812, including its slow build-up and aftermath, and provides detailed biographies of the generals who made their mark.
