Excellent description of the history of the battle, why it occurred, the problems both sides faced---soldiers on the spot and diplomats in Europe---as well as related incidents.

But to over-emphasize the importance of the Battle of New Orleans, the author tells you the war on land was being lost everywhere else. So I suggest you read the Wikipedia page on Jacob Brown to learn otherwise.
