â€œMarked by scrupulous and wide-ranging research, it is not only good history but good narrative as well.â€ â€•Robert J. Taylor, American Historical Review
This classic account of King Philipâ€™s War, first published in 1958, offers a birdâ€™s-eye view of the conflict, from the Wampanoag sachemâ€™s rise to his ultimate defeat. The battles, massacres, stratagems, and logistics of this war are all detailed, with the leaders of both sides figuring prominently in this tale of bloodshed, privation, and woe. The author weighs all the factors contributing to the Native Americansâ€™ defeat and surveys the effects of the war on the lives of both Indians and colonists in the years to come. With insight, balance, and compassion, Leach portrays the tragedy of the war and points toward the future of the nascent American republic.
