Any biography of Henry Clay's 46 year political career quickly becomes entangled with his monumental, though youthful, political leadership of the War Hawks in urging the Madison Administration to arm the United States for war with Great Britain. He continued to advise in the war's progress and ended by being one of the five distinguished Americans to treat for peace with a difficult team of mediocre British envoys. There has been no detailed treatment of his major role in this early American war until this present work.
The late Quentin Scott King, a Navy sonarman veteran of World War II, was a librarian in government libraries, a reporter covering Capitol Hill, and a Congressional press secretary. He lived in Washington, D.C.
