A masterful historical narrative...Remini's impeccable scholarship and lively pen produce what undoubtedly will become the standard account

The Battle of New Orleans is one of the most significant turning points in American history and Robert Remini brings it all back to life in this first-rate, definitive book. Highly recommended!

A gem of a book, perfectly formed and beautifully written

No historian of the past century has been more accessible

An almost faultless masterpiece

Highly original and penetrating ... No one who has digested this enthralling work will ever be able to look at the period again in quite the same way

Keegan's power as a writer derives from the fact that he does not see himself merely as a chronicler of battles, but as a student of the human condition. It is the breadth of his grasp of civilisation, as well as of the soldier's art, that makes this book so formidable.
