THE PLEASURES OF WRITING THE WAR OF 1812 FOR OSPREY
Writing The War of 1812 for Osprey’s Essential Histories series was a pleasure. First, the staff was professional, understanding, and efficient. Second, as an academic historian, I was pleased to be able to share my research and thoughts on the conflict with a broader audience than I normally reach. Third, the format of the Essential Histories series provided opportunities for illustrating and mapping the war that rarely occur in texts published by university presses.
