The
War of 1812
A Forgotten Conflict
Donald Hickey
“A well-researched and extensively documented overview
of the causes and consequences of the War of 1812. In a penetrating analysis of
pre-war society, [Hickey] accumulates evidence suggesting that the war was
ultimately unnecessary and unpopular. . . . 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. [Hickey]
was accurate when he wrote, ‘Although looking to the past, the war was
fraught with consequences for the future, and for this reason it is worth
studying today.’ And there is no better place to start than with The
War of 1812.” ¯Civil War News
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 readers alike. Donald R. Hickey explores the military, diplomatic,
and domestic history of America’s second war with Great Britain. With
additional information on the British forces, American Indians, and military
operations The War of 1812: A Forgotten Conflict, Bicentennial Edition
explains how the war promoted American nationalism and manifest destiny,
stimulated peacetime defence spending, and enhanced America’s reputation
abroad. Hickey also shows that the war sparked bloody conflicts between pro-war
Republican and anti-war Federalist neighbours and solidified the United
States’ antipathy toward the British.
