Product Information

On a spring morning in 1813 the largest amphibious force in American history to that point - nearly 6,000 troops aboard 140 vessels - stormed ashore near the mouth of the Niagara River, routed the British garrison and captured Fort George. It was a textbook operation, the second consecutive American victory, and a promising sign that events of 1813 would redress the military calamities of 1812. The badly mauled British army, short of provisions and ammunition, reeled westward, its leadership uncertain where or how the retreat would end. The American forces were poised to deliver the critical body blow the War Hawks in Congress dreamed of when they predicted a four-week war to seize Britain's remaining colonies. The fate of Upper Canada hung in the balance. Ten days later, in a field near the hamlet of Stoney Creek, the promise of that triumph was smashed in a terrifying night action the outcome of which hinged on a single bayonet charge that carried the American artillery and decapitated the invading army. Little known or appreciated, Stoney Creek was one of the most decisive reversals of military fortune in the War of 1812 and in no small measure determined the fate of the colony that would become Ontario. Journalist and author James Elliott has compellingly reconstructed the chain of events. From the rise to brigadier general of Maine blacksmith John Chandler, to the Highland heroics of Alexander Fraser, Strange Fatality explores the dynamics of a battle that stemmed the tide of invasion, cost two generals their freedom and unseated the highest-ranking soldier in the American army.

Reviews
"Exceptional book ... impressive research and writing.... meticulous and well-illustrated. His portrayals of the human dimensions of the struggle and its aftermath are gripping." -- Hamilton Spectator, Interest Is Building in the War of 1812in the U.S.A. and Canada As the 200th Anniversary Approaches, "Elliott has succeeded ­marvellously, in turning a military history into a real cliff-hanger." -- Toronto Star, "Detailed battle accounts are notoriously difficult to write. Accurate ones tend to put general readers to sleep. Popular ones often romanticize or foreshorten complex events.... Elliott is thorough, accurate, evenhanded and vivid. Strange Fatality , set as it is in the context of the larger Dearborn campaign on the peninsula, reads like a novel. It is good, gory, realistic stuff, which accurately depicts the most unpopular conflict in United States history before Vietnam." -- Portland Press Herald, Maine, Other titles regarding the War of 1812 from Robin Brass Studios:[i]The British at the Gates[/i]: 978-1896941257[i]Capital in Flames[/i]:978-1896941530, "A gripping account of an ­important battle that separates the real soldiers from the poseurs ... sparkles with wit and observation." -- Globe and Mail
