A Guide to the War of 1812 in Question and Answer Format Mark Phillips

If you've ever found American history boring or hard to understand, this book is for you. Inside, a bright, curious student poses questions about the War of 1812 and a kind, knowledgeable teacher answers them. Nothing escapes the student's inquisitive mind, and the teacher is endlessly patient. Originally published as a portion of the author's larger "Conversations in Early American History: 1492-1837" (later retitled "American History from Christopher Columbus to Andrew Jackson in Easy Question and Answer Format") this paperback edition clearly explains the causes of the War of 1812, describes the key battles, and outlines the peace settlement.
