Sinopsis

O Say Can You See?Georgetown lawyer Francis Scott Key did notáinitially support the War of 1812 against GreatáBritain. After all, he voted against President JamesáMadison and his war. Instead, Key supported theáFederalist Party. But after the notorious Britishámilitary burned the White House and Capitol--the 9/11 of the War of 1812--Key set aside hisápolitical differences, spoke with President Madison, and answered the call to do what he could for hisácountry. While aboard a British warship afteránegotiating the release of an American war prisoner,áKey witnessed the Battle of Fort McHenry ináBaltimore. What happened next changedáhis life. Discover why and how he came to writeáAmericaâÇÖs national anthem, whose lyrics haveáinspired millions of Americans over the years. By award-winning author and former White House webmaster, Jane Hampton Cook, AmericaâÇÖs Star-Spangled Story is a beautiful patriotic gift bookáfor all Americans.
