Book Description
In 1811, while Great Britain was battling Napoleon, Thomas Jefferson declared that seizing British North America would be ‘a mere matter of marching’, but Jefferson hadn’t counted on British Major General Isaac Brock. Brock moulded a reluctant citizenry, the natives, and his meagre army of 1500 redcoats into a fighting force. The future of North America would hang on the outcome. Unknown to even to even to General Brock, Jonathan Westlake, a young man ready to make his mark, was about to be the difference between defeat and victory.
