批評家のレビュー

"A finely researched volume that spotlights the good, bad and ugly of a polyglot army stumbling to war.... The strength of Mr. Davis’s chronicle is its meticulous research and the way it frames the Battle of New Orleans in the context of a vibrant, evolving, occasionally vicious South.... The Greatest Fury is one of the most comprehensive looks at a fight that became a punctuation mark in the tale of Manifest Destiny." (The Wall Street Journal)

"William C. Davis reframes the historic significance of the Battle of New Orleans in a book that is both learned and accessible. Known for his wide ranging research, Davis wields his energetic writing style to bring to life military and political history in a story sure to engage an appreciative audience." (Ronald C. White, New York Times best-selling author of American Ulysses: A Life of Ulysses S. Grant)

"With prose so sharp the reader will hear the canons’ roar and feel the heat of the fire, William C. Davis has crafted an epic of American history. It’s all here, from the clash of warships on Lake Borgne to Andrew Jackson’s line of heroic fighters, to the Redcoats who took on an enemy inferior in numbers, weapons and experience - and suffered defeat. The Greatest Fury is a rousing read." (Winston Groom, New York Times best-selling author of The Allies and Patriotic Fire)

あらすじ・解説

"Davis’s accounts of small fights won by hot blood and cold steel are thrilling." (The Wall Street Journal)

From master historian William C. Davis, the definitive story of the Battle of New Orleans, the fight that decided the ultimate fate not only of the War of 1812 but the future course of the fledgling American republic.

It was a battle that could not be won. Outnumbered farmers, merchants, backwoodsmen, smugglers, slaves, and Choctaw Indians, many of them unarmed, were up against the cream of the British army, professional soldiers who had defeated the great Napoleon and set Washington, DC, ablaze. At stake was nothing less than the future of the vast American heartland, from the Gulf Coast to the Great Lakes, as the ragtag American forces fought to hold New Orleans, the gateway of the Mississippi River and an inland empire.

Tipping the balance of power in the New World, this single battle irrevocably shifted the young republic's political and cultural center of gravity and kept the British from ever regaining dominance in North America. In this gripping, comprehensive study of the Battle of New Orleans, William C. Davis examines the key players and strategy of King George's Red Coats and Andrew Jackson's makeshift "army". A master historian, he expertly weaves together narratives of personal motivation and geopolitical implications that make this battle one of the most impactful ever fought on American soil.
