Reviews for King Philip´s War: Colonial Expansion, Native Resistance, and the End of Indian Sovereignty
Mandell has written the best concise account of this total war... Although there are numerous books on this war... none are so accessible to general readers or college undergraduates... Highly recommended. Choice 2010
