Book Description:
The war of 1812 would either make America a global power sweeping all the way to the Pacific--or break it into small pieces bound to mighty England. It was a second revolution of sorts to prove to the British that America had to be taken seriously. The principal actors in this drama were James and Dolley Madison, and Andrew and Rachel Jackson. Their courage and determination would shape America's destiny.

Lorraine D. (Through the lives of James & Dolley Madison, Andrew & Rachel Jackson, Winfield Scott, and Sally McQuirk ("the daughter of a Washington publisher who is determined to cover the war as a journalist", the reader lives through "...the thirty months of the war that shaped American destiny". (Quotes from jacket blurb)
This book was a novel, a work of the imagination. Yet it is in general accurate both in the hostory of the events it chronicles and on the character and personalilty of the various individuals. To sum up in a phrase, this is the imagined inside story of a known outside story.
