Strange Fatality: The Battle of Stoney Creek, 1813
"Elliott has succeeded marvellously in turning a military history into a real cliff-hanger -- complete with chase, standoff, sneak attack in the middle of the night, unbelievable luck and victory over overwhelming odds." --Hans Werner, The Toronto Star, 26 July 2009"One hell of a gripping story ... a nail-biting, flesh-and-blood showdown that feels like it took place last week.  In almost any other country this would be a movie and a prominent piece of the national mythology." --Gord Henderson, The Windsor Star, 11 July 2009"A gripping account of an important battle that separates the real soldiers from the poseurs...sparkles with wit and observation. --Geoff Heinricks, The Globe and Mail, 25 July 2009"Brings to life a tale of courage and imcompetence.  A gripping story about a little-known battle that changed the course of the war.  He has done a superb job of integrating the contemporary sources into a fascinating narrative." --Robert Burnham, The War of 1812 Magazine, June 2009"A terrifying tale ... it really is a must-read."  --Annette Hamm, CHCH TV, 15 June 2009
