Fabulous docudrama of Dolley Madison. It was riviting and brought an interesting personal light to the sacking of Washington DC by the British.

This is not quite a biography, and not quite fiction. The author gives a well researched view of Dolley Madison, using fictionalized diary entries to bring the first lady's experiences during the burning of the capitol in 1814 to life. This is an interesting and sometimes humorous look at Dolley Madison with a background of the War of 1812.
