Good overview of an often forgotten army
By Todd Post - October 24, 2001If it wasn't for the Star-Spangled Banner, most Americans would probably lump the War of 1812 into the same bin of forgotten wars with the Mexican War and Spanish-American War. Even then, I'm sure they wouldn't be able to tell you a darn thing about any of the details.This book gives a through overview to the United States Army as it progressed from 1812 through 1815. America had this horrible habit in its early years (and even up until World War II) of cutting its military in peace time and then getting itself into wars unprepared. What starts out as a slightly disorganized army in 1812 turns into an army that would route troops that served with Wellington in Europe.Probably the strength of this book is that the author doesn't try to be all things to all people. Instead of giving an overview of all the branches or even both sides of the conflict as was done in Osprey's earlier work on the subject, it is very specific and therefore a good reference for such a short book... read more
Gray Doom
By Kevin F. Kiley - May 19, 2001This is an excellent book and reference for the American Army in the War of 1812, America's true 'forgotten war.' The author, a recognized uniform authority and historian, has done an excellent job within the guidelines of the Osprey series and has produced a volume that should be owned by anyone with an interest in the War of 1812.The color illustrations are excellently done, as well as accurate, chronicling an army of amateurs, both on the enlisted and the officer level, that, through defeat and hardship, grew into a professional force that held at bay, and defeated, 'Wellington's Invincibles', and saved the United States as an independent nation. All of the combat arms are covered, rifle dress, summer and fatigue dress, as well as winter uniform and the various differences in uniform of the Regular infantry, due both to lack of regulation colored cloth and the various changes in uniform during the war.The black and white illustrations, mostly of original uniform items,... read more
