Book Reviews
The Battle of New Orleans
By Robert V. Remini (Viking $24.95)

Historian Robert V. Remini of the University of Illinois successfully persuades us that the Battle of New Orleans, the last fight of the War of 1812, was "one of the great defining moments in the history of the republic." He describes, through the use of extensive primary sources, the action and events from mid-December 1814, when the British ships were first sighted, to the ultimate routing and defeat of the British on January 8, 1815.
