The Cutting-Off Way by Wayne Lee presents a new model for looking at Indian warfare, looking at how their hit-and-run tactics were shaped by the broader context of social organization, logistics, and strategy.
Thanks for sharing this, it fits in well with a number of my recent reads reexamining the history of the indigenous peoples of North America that do without some pretty worn out stereotyping. I’ll be looking for a copy of this.
Mayflower by Nathaniel Philbrick surprised me with a detailed balanced account of the earliest clashes between the colonists and expansionist settlers and the tribes of New England in the 1600s. Indigenous Continent by Pekka Hamalainen presents an Indigenous version/pov on the history of North America included the economic, social, and conflict links - though it’s a long read at almost 500 pages.
Thoroughly enjoyed the Road to Dien Bien Phu and so eager to pickup this recommendation
Hope you enjoy it!

Any other good titles you'd recommend?
