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

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.
