American History Book Club

The American History Book Club will discuss Through the Perilous Fight: From the  Burning of Washington to the Star-Spangled Banner: The Six Weeks That Saved the Nation by Steve Vogel (Random House, $17.00).  In 1814, the U.S. teetered on the brink of disaster. Then the ruthless British Admiral George Cockburn launched an invasion of Washington in a daring attempt to decapitate the government and crush their spirit. Here, the author combines bravura storytelling with brilliant character sketches to recreate the thrilling six-week period when Americans rallied from the ashes to overcome their oldest adversary and win themselves a new birth of freedom.
