"The War With the United States: A Chronicle of 1812" by William Wood is a historical exploration of the War of 1812, revealing the complicated mix of international relationships and national feelings that sparked the conflict between the United States and Britain. The book untangles the claims of both nations, highlighting the global scene set by Napoleon's wars in Europe, America's drive to expand, and the political climate in Canada. It unveils the early disagreements that lit the fuse of war, describing how America felt trapped by British trade rules and the search for deserters. It pinpoints key moments that made things worse, like the seizing of American sailors and the failed Embargo Act. Initial efforts at diplomacy are shown against the changing political scene, building up to the declaration of war and the public's view of the war as a battle for rights and a chance to grab land in Canada.
