From the back cover:

"In the tradition of Margaret MacMillan's Paris 1919, For Honour's Sake is a new consideration of Canada's most famous war from the pen of one of this country's most popular military historians. The War of 1812 looms large in the Canadian imagination; it was a war in which British and Indian troops prevailed in almost all the battles, and in which a young woman named Laura Secord raced over the Niagara peninsula to warn of American plans for attack. Zuehlke paints a vibrant picture of the war's major battles and focuses on the quarrelling between British and American diplomats, conjuring the compromises and backroom deals that yielded conventions that resonate in diplomatic relations between the United States and Canada to this very day."
