The Burning of Washington
The Library Journal says the following about this book: "To this day, stones that bear the burn marks of the fire set by the British in the War of 1812 can be seen on the White House, but little thought is given to their context. Pitch attempts to bring alive that time of humiliation and triumph for the young republic." CreditsThe Burning of Washington: The British Invasion of 1814, by Anthony S. Pitch.
