Title: 1812 - new leaders emerge for a new nation
Product review: I enjoyed this historical novel. Like the Civil War novel, "The Killer Angels", it describes real history with real historical characters mixed in with a few composite or fictional characters. The scope of this book is larger, covering the run up to the war, the politics of the war in Washington, the the three major theaters of action: Great Lakes, Chesapeake Bay, and Gulf Coast. The major characters are James and Dolley Madison, Winfield Scott, and Andrew Jackson. I find particularly compelling the description of the different types and styles of leadership. Madison's cerebral style, Scott's military professionalism, and Jackson's charismatic dynamic style, and the growth of these characters through the war.
