Review: When Britain Burned the White House: The 1814 Invasion of Washington

When Britain Burned the White House: The 1814 Invasion of Washington by Peter Snow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A very interesting read in to a subject that many people doesn't know about. The author has written it in a way that makes it light and easy to read, that it isn't heavy like some history books can be. There's plenty of information to keep your interest as well as diagrams of the movements of each side, the British and the American.

Subjects like the burning of the White House, should be something taught in all school's, even if it was only for a short period of time in our history. It's our history at the end of the day, now I can't speak for American schools, but I know us British don't cover anything to do with the 1814 battle. Shame really as this would make a very good book to study while studying the subject.
