From the siege of Quebec to the storming of New Orleans, here is one of the most colourful books ever produced on America's military history. American historian Philip Katcher describes, with the aid of 100 superb full-colour paintings and a further 100 photographs, the armies - American, French, Hessian, Indian and British - who fought on the soil of America in the French and Indian War, the Revolutionary War, and the War of 1812.
