Yanik argues that Hull was the convenient scapegoat for this
disaster, and there is little doubt that this was the case. Yanik
makes a convincing argument on Hull's behalf. The Fall and
Recapture of Detroit will be of value to those interested in
ascertaining the truth in the events leading up to the the
surrender of Detroit.--Gregory M. Miller "Northwestern Ohio
History"
Yanik presents his argument forcefully and with great effect,
presenting an excellent popular account of this sad moment in
Michigan history.--Richard V. Barbuto "Michigan Historical Review"
