Mad Boy: An account of Henry Phipps in the war of 1812

Mad Boy is a terrific read. While it passes the authenticity test of the historical fiction genre, it is not really about the war of 1812. Rather, it is about the many devils who disturb the sleep of the Home of the Free and the Land of the Brave, who have delivered our American cousins into the hands of scoundrels, wrapped in flags. Highly recommended.
