Review
"An attractive history of an unattractive subject, this book chronicles in precise detail the history of one of the most bitterly fought but also least known conflicts in American history. The war had a definite and lasting impact in New England, but was even more traumatic for the Indians involved, who lost perhaps 3,000 killed out of a total population of 20,000, with numerous families being uprooted or sold into slavery. The authors pay due attention to the wider social and historical implications of the war, but their true purpose is twofold: to trace the course and location of the events in as much detail as possible for the benefit of historical tourists, and to let the participants speak for themselves in the form of liberal quotations from original documents. The book is very nicely laid out and easy to use, as well as being a pleasure to read." Reviewed by Andrew Witmer, Virginia Quarterly Review (Copyright 2006 Virginia Quarterly Review)
