Legacy of The War of 1812
June 18th on the Diane Rehm Show, Diane and her guests discuss the War of 1812 which began 200 years ago today. Often called “the forgotten war,” it tested a new generation of American leaders, shifted the global balance of power, and set the stage for American westward expansion.
Guests are Walter Borneman, author of “1812: The War that Forged a Nation”; Troy Bickham, Associate Professor of History at Texas A&M University and author of “The Weight of Vengeance: The United States, The British Empire, and The War of 1812”; Donald Fixico, Professor of History at Arizona State University; and James Cusick, Curator of the P. K. Yonge Library of Florida at the University of Florida Library and author of “The Other War of 1812: The Patriot War and the American Invasion of the Spanish East Florida.”
The Diane Rehm Show is broadcast weekdays from 10:00 a.m to noon on WCVE 88.9 HD2. Listen online here.
