Despite a military career that included distinguished service in Europe and North Africa, Ross is better known for his actions rather than by his name for his 1814 campaign in the Chesapeake Bay, which resulted in the burning of the White House and Capitol and the unsuccessful assault on Baltimore, immortalized in "The Star Spangled Banner." The Man Who Captured Washington is the first in-depth biography of this important but largely forgotten historical figure.
