Customer Review: This work by author Michno clearly demonstrates that scholarship trumps polemics based in political agendas, particularly the politically correct agendas currently fashionable. Mr Michno has created both a wonderful reference work, but he is so thorough for the time covered (1850-1890) that I simply... more info
Customer Review: I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a solid understanding of the F&I War. Anderson's book gives just the right amount of detail - not so much as to overwhelm you, but not so little where you're left without a good understanding of this crucial event in history. The book is also... more info
Customer Review: While the United States Army's campaign against the Sioux in 1876 has been immortalized by "Custer's Last Stand," the equally significant Nez Perce War of 1877 has received very little attention. There have been a few other books out on this subject, but nothing like the non-stop flow of Custer... more info
Customer Review: As one who knows little about the period the author covers I was immediately impressed with how obvious the deficiencies of the novel were. This is, at best, a junior level treatise of the "French and Indian war." The Iroquois and other native American groups are referred to only to illuminate the... more info
Customer Review: This is another fine book by author Michno that simply puts most other modern works on Indian wars to shame. Not only that, it is about an almost unknown Indian War that was the deadliest (according to the author, and I see no reason to challenge his assertion) in US history in terms of casualties... more info
Customer Review: This book is a must read for anyone interested in American history. It give great detail on the men, the battles, the Indians...everything you need to have a good understanding of what the war was about and how it effected everyone involved and lead to the American Revolution. I wish I had read it... more info
Customer Review: A less weighty version of "Montcalm and Wolfe" with focus on the military campaigns, this
is one of my favorite books on the subject. A true reader of the French and Indian
Wars must have some Parkman in the library!
Customer Review: This is a must read if you have an interest in the plight of the Indians in North America. It discusses the treaties made and treaties broken and the unjust treatment of the North American Indians. These noble people recognized that the U.S. policy was one of extinction in order to develop the... more info
Customer Review: If you're looking for a book about the Seven Years' War, look no further than Fred Anderson's "Crucible of War." Superbly written, Mr. Anderson is very detailed and thorough in his narrative. By capturing each battle, event, and turning point of the war so vividly, it makes it easy to imagine... more info
Customer Review: This book was amazing in its capacity to create a three dimensionality, to an otherwise unacknowledged subject matter. In its pages the reader is almost shown a whole other "history"/ "historical sequence of events" at least. These events, at least for me, were not part of the curriculum of American... more info
