réf. vot874Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill 1991. Octavo black cloth & boards hardcover xv 353 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: It was our “most unmilitary war” a near disaster for the fledgling United States of America. Begun in ignorance of the military facts of life it was fought catch-as-catch-can with raw troops incompetent officers and appallingly inadequate logistics. American soil was invaded along three frontiers the national capital was occupied and burned and the secession of the New England states loomed as a definite possibility. In Amateurs to Arms! the distinguished military historian Colonel John R. Elting shows how the young republic fought and almost lost its “Second War for Independence” and how it was saved by the handful of amateur soldiers and sailors who survived mastered their deadly new professions and somehow battled Great Britain to a standstill along our wilderness borders and across the high seas. This latest volume in Algonquin Books’ Major Battles and Campaigns series takes up the military developments of “Mr. Madison’s War” in succession beginning with the first stumbling U. S. efforts to invade Canada. Elting describes the planning and preparations -- or lack of them -- for campaigns in the North Northwest and South tells how they were fought and analyzes the battlefield performance of both sides. The odds against the American fighting forces -- woefully unrealistic preparation and expectations British military might a feckless Congress and administration the treason of too many of their fellow citizens who fed and praised their enemy -- were overwhelming. Yet as Colonel Elting demonstrates our troops in the field endured -- and because they did so did the United States of America. Sixteen specially prepared maps numerous illustrations and a descriptive bibliography help complement Colnel Elting’s lively narrative and make Amateurs to Arms! the definitive military study of a too-little-remembered war. hardcover books
