The summer of 1812 saw the beginning of one of the most brutal wars to take place on Canadian soil. With more than 1,600 people killed and a battlefront that extended from Halifax Harbour in Nova Scotia to the Columbia River in what is now British Columbia, the war featured many brave men and women who fended off much larger American forces.
Canada on Fire is an exciting account of the War of 1812 as told through the stories of the heroes who helped to defend Canada, people such as Mohawk chief John Norton, who led a small army into battle against the wishes of his tribe, and Red George Macdonnell, who spent the war defending the St. Lawrence River.
Jennifer Crump told the story in a very interesting and exciting way by including descriptions of the battle at Lundys Lane, the adventures of the Sea Wolves, and the antics of James Fitzgibbon and his Bloody Boys, the book of Canada on Fire sheds some light on parts of the war that most don't know about. Overall the book was pretty good, i would definitely recommend it, and personally i would give it a solid 4/5.
