About this book
Walter R. Nursey presents Isaac Brock as a model of courage and public service for young readers in Canada. This military biography follows the British officer from his Guernsey background to his role in defending Upper Canada during the War of 1812. The opening lingers over the Channel Islands, their rough seas, fortified harbours and trading history, giving Brock's story a strong sense of place before turning to his army career.
The campaign narrative brings leadership down to practical details. Brock leads an open boat through storms toward Amherstburg, helps free it from a reef and meets Tecumseh after arriving. Nursey's admiration shapes both the descriptions and the arguments about British strategy.
