On: New England Almost Seceded over the War of 1812 (2012)

[gerikson]

For an entertaining fictional account (from the British side) I can recommend Patrick O'Brian's The Fortune of War (and the subsequent The Surgeon's Mate, although only the first part deals with the war of 1812).

I'd recommend the whole series as it's really excellent!

Of course, I've re-read it at least 5 times ;)

20+ books does seem like a big commitment but once you're hooked you just want more...
