The Military and United States Indian Policy, 1865-1903 - Wooster, Robert

Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; A model of analytical history. In...spare, cogent prose, Wooster delineates military strategy against the western tribes, places the political influence of the Gilded Age military establishment in solid perspective, gives an able survey of the institutional structure of the postwar army, briefly describes key Indian campaigns, and presents pithy characterizations of leading western military personalities...Wooster's book places events in a national, and in military terms international, context. In so doing he has made a major contribution to frontier and military scholarship." - American Historical Review
