General Brock

The biography follows Sir Isaac Brock from his Guernsey birth through army service abroad and a decade of command in Canada, chronicling his civil and military duties, preparations and strategies during the Anglo-American conflict, his efforts to organize and train local militia, and campaigns on the Niagara and Detroit frontiers that end with his death at Queenston Heights; chapters combine regional description, political and European context, and maps to present a chronological, character-focused account of leadership and wartime administration.
