Books, Maps & Other Resources  England & Wales  Genealogy & History BOOK - British Generals in the War of 1812 by: Wesley B. Turner Despite the many studies of this turbulent period in North American history, there are still controversies over the quality of Miltary leadership in the British colonies during the war of 1812. The British military leadership had faced many crises before, but never one more serious than this war. British Generals in the War of 1812 takes a fresh look at five generals - Sir George Prevost, Isaac Brock, Roger Sheaffe, Baron Francis de Rottenburg, and Gordon Drummond - who held the highest civil and military command during the war. Wesley Turner considers the formative experiences of the generals, their active service in Europe and West India, and evaluates their subsequent performance in the very different North American context. 260 pp., Hard Cover,1999, ISBN 0-7735-1832-0.
