NOTES
Narrated by Nelson Runger
This lively, detailed history of "Mr. Madison's War" takes you beyond the schoolbook facts and into the political, economic and diplomatic secrets that led to war. Hickey explores the anti-war rioting in Baltimore; the pre-war skirmish between the Chesapeake and the H.M.S. Leopold; the cruise of the U.S.S. Essex in the Pacific; the attempted invasion and annexation of Canada; the battles with the Native Americans along the frontier; and the Treaty of Ghent that ended the conflict
