<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p><em>Pontiac's War</em> explains the 'who, what, when, where, why' of the war that changed things between the native people and the European settlers, sharpening the racial differences and attitudes, and foreshadowing the atrocities of American policy toward Indians in the nineteenth century. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>Pontiac's War: Its Causes, Course, and Consequence, 1763-1765</em> is a compelling retelling of one of the most pivotal points in American colonial history, in which the Native peoples staged one of the most successful campaigns in three centuries of European contact. With his balanced analysis of the organization and execution of this important conflict, Middleton sheds light on the military movement that forced the British imperial forces to reinstate diplomacy to retain their authority over the region. </p><p>Spotlighting the Native American perspective, <em>Pontiac's War</em> presents a careful, engaging account of how very close to success those Native American forces truly came.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"...a thoroughly documented tale that infuses remarkable diversity into a saga that historically has focused attention on a handful of key players. Middleton's discussion of Seneca diplomacy and subsequent peace negotiations with the Native peoples of the Illinois country... is especially insightful."
