The Invasion of Canada: 1812-1813: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Invasion of Canada: 1812-1813" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
In this remarkable account of the wars first year and the events that led up to it, Pierre Berton transforms history into an engrossing narrative that reads like a fast-paced novel. Drawing on personal memoirs and diaries as well as official dispatches, the author has been able to get inside the characters of the men who fought the war the common soldiers as well as the generals, the bureaucrats and the profiteers, the traitors and the loyalists.
Berton believes that if there had been no war, most of Ontario would probably be American today; and if the war had been lost by the British, all of Canada would now be part of the United States. But the War of 1812, or more properly the myth of the war, served to give the new settlers a sense of community and set them on a different course from that of their neighbours.

The conquest of Canada is
in our power. I trust I shall
not be deemed presumptive when
I state that I verily believe
that the militia of Kentucky
are alone competent to place
Montreal and Upper Canada
at your feet.
Henry Clay, to the
United States Senate,
February 22, 1810.
