Pulitzer Prize-winning author Alan Taylor presents the riveting story of a war that redefined North America.  In the early 19th century, Britons and Americans renewed their struggle over the legacy of the American Revolution.  Soldiers, immigrants, settlers, and Indians battled in a northern borderland to determine the fate of a continent.  After fighting each other to a standstill, the American and the British concluded that they could safely share the continent along a border that favored the United States at the expense of Canadians and Indians.
