Description: "Colonel David Fitz-Enz has written a fascinating full-length story of 'what might have been' in the War of 1812. That he has made it into an entire book, rather than taking the more conventional option of writing only a chapter, is a feat in itself: but even more remarkable is that he manages to sustain the dramatic tension until the very last page-and the dnouement is as unexpected as it is thought-provoking. Along the way, the author quietly teaches us a great deal about many diverse and unfamiliar subjects, such as the technicalities of transporting horses by sea, or the methods for laundering money on a large scale in the conditions of 1814. Overall, it is a book that is well worth reading."
