I had missed this new book from Osprey in their elite series. Thank you to the "Flintlock and Tomahawk" site for bringing this book to my attention.
"US Soldier vs British Soldier War of 1812" by Greg Adams and illustrated by Johnny Shumate. It's schedule release is 23 Fenbruary 2021 and will be available in both paperback and Kindle editions. From the pre publication post in the Osprey website it looks to be very interesting and well researched. It will feature three battles (Queenston Heights, 13 October 1812; Crysler's Farm 11 November 1813 and Chippewa 5 July 1814) and traces the growth and development of the United States regular army. From the information available I am most excited about it and have pre ordered the Kindle edition. If its as good as I think it will be I will then order the paperback edition too. So if nothing else Osprey has already made a sale on this book!
