The Story of Isaac Brock / Hero, Defender and Saviour of Upper Canada, 1812

A concise biography follows Isaac Brock from his Guernsey origins and early military service through European postings to his command in Upper Canada, where he confronts logistical hardships and a threatened frontier. The narrative recounts the lead-up to the 1812 war, lake and land operations culminating in the capture of Detroit, collaboration with Indigenous leader Tecumseh, and the fighting at Queenston Heights that resulted in his death. Interleaved analysis addresses leadership, strategy, supply and troop morale, while chapters, illustrations and appendices document subsequent campaigns and explanatory notes.
