Highly recommended, a very coherent account of a not so coherent action!
Worth the read but not in the same league as the Graves and Malcomson books. It was a very confused action - a night attack on a camp, with both US generals captured and the British CinC gone missing! Some good stuff on Stoney Creek and the landings at Fort George, but lacks the overall flow of the other authors (IMHO).
Next up is Malcomson's book on the burning of York (seeing Toronto get burnt - the dream of many Canadians).
