Reading progress update: I've read 312 out of 312 pages.

The Man Who Captured Washington: Major General Robert Ross and the War of 1812 - Christopher T. George, John McCavitt

This was a good book, though in my review for MiWSR I'm definitely going to take the authors to task for cramming the first 46 years of Ross's life into 39 pages, then spending the remaining 180 pages of text on the last five months of his life and his legacy. It's especially frustrating when the authors keep referencing Ross's lessons from campaigns that they just gloss over.
