Description
Tracing the history of warfare across North America, this richly observed study moves from Indigenous conflict and the struggle between nomadic and settled societies to the campaigns that shaped the continent’s political future. Drawing on visits to battlefields and military sites, it examines how geography, climate, terrain, technology, and culture have influenced strategy and the experience of combat. Combining chronology with vivid travel writing and analytical insight, the book brings historic landscapes to life while exploring the relationship between war, society, and political ambition. It is an engrossing and wide-ranging work of military history in the distinctive, evocative style associated with its author.
