US Soldier versus British Soldier

GREGG ADAMS

This is No. 54 in the Combat series, which takes us to the

War of 1812 and Britain’s activities in the Colonies while facing Napoleon in Europe. It centres on three battles, at Queenston Heights, Crysler’s Farm and Chippawa with tactical maps, illustrations and a few re-enactment photos. If there’s any criticism it’s that there’s not enough detail on the British forces (each side gets two annotated figures) and too much space wasted on period portraits of numerous commanders.

The text is fine, just the overall production not as good as previous ones.
