Review

"Based on extensive historical research and consultation with numerous Native American and other knowledgeable sources, Gods of War, Gods of Peace offers a revelatory new understanding of early America, as it broadens the scope of our knowledge and deepens our understanding of the complex process by which we came to be Americans. Only by seeing how the stories of Native American and newcomer entwine can we fully appreciate the exceptional origins of our country and its ideals and institutions."--Jacket
