In an exploration of the wars and negotiations that destroyed tribal ways of life even as they made possible the emergence of the modern United States, Peter Cozzens gives us both sides in comprehensive and singularly intimate detail. He illuminates the encroachment experienced by the tribes and the tribal conflicts over whether to fight or make peace, and explores the squalid lives of soldiers posted to the frontier and the ethical quandaries faced by generals who often sympathized with their native enemies.\n\n*A Times \"History Book of the Year\" and A Smithsonian \"Top History Book of 2016\"\n\n*Shortlisted for Military History Magazine's Book of the Year Award\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0307958043\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0307958043.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Cozzens, Peter\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
