Review :
""Union 1812" both fills a gaping hole in our early history and inventively and persuasively anchors the War of 1812 to the founding process, giving us portraits not only of players like Madison, Tecumseh, Jackson, and Harrison, but also of the revolutionary heroes Jefferson, Adams, and Washington, whose contributions take on new meaning in light of this 'second war of independence' and the true opening of the American West." -- William Hogeland, author of "The Whiskey Rebellion" "A. J. Langguth is incapable of writing a dull sentence. Here he brings rousingly to life the perilous, fascinating years between America's first and second wars of independence. With an artist's flair, a scholar's rigor, and the narrative genius of a born storyteller, he gives us presidents and their wives, Redcoats and frontier Caesars, heroes and scalawags -- an unforgettable portrait gallery of young America." -- Richard Norton Smith, author of "Patriarch: George Washington" and the "New American Nation" "A. J. Langguth's "Union 1812" is an excellent companion volume -- and handy sequel -- to his fine "Patriots," which entertained and enlightened readers with its cast of characters from the Revolutionary War. Anyone now looking for an equally engaging and reliable guide to the principal figures and events surrounding the War of 1812 need look no further. This is it." -- Benson Bobrick, author of "Angel in the Whirlwind: The Triumph of the American Revolution" "Never again after this masterly work will 1812 be a forgotten war. Langguth brilliantly restores the war to its rightful place in American history while at the same time giving us a rousing good story that holds our attention from beginning to end." -- Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of "Team of Rivals"
