In September 1814, a young lawyer named Francis Scott Key was in a boat in Chesapeake Bay when British forces bombarded Baltimore's Fort McHenry. This book explains the background to the attack of the fort, looking at the reasons for the War of 1812 between Britain and the United States. It tells of the fort's brave defense, its huge flag, and how Key wrote the celebrated poem that became the U.S. national anthem.
