Details

Often called “the war that changed nothing,” the War of 1812 in fact radically altered the future for First Nations allies who fought alongside the British. Bestselling historian and political scientist James Laxer, an authority on cross-border relations, explores this little-known side of the war through the lens of a remarkable friendship between the Shawnee chieftain, Tecumseh, charismatic leader of the Native confederacy, and the defender of the British Empire, Sir Isaac Brock.
