About This Item

Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2005. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition. 8 vo,. (15 cm). cloth, dust jacket, xiv, 232 pages : illustrations, maps, some ink underlining in text, CONTENTS: The first way of war's origins in Colonial America -- The first way of war in the North American Wars of King George II, 1739-1755 -- ontinential and British Petite Guerre, circa 1750 -- The first way of war in the seven years' war, 1754-1763 -- The first way of war in the era of the American Revolution -- The first way of war in the 1790s -- The first way of war and the final conquest of the Transappalachian West. This book explores the evolution of American war, showing how the first war waged against Indian noncombatant populations and their agricultural resources became the standard method of war employed by early Americans and which ultimately defined their military heritage. The bloodthirsty American conquest of Indian communities east of the Mississippi River helps demonstrate how early Americans embraced warfare shaped by extravagant violence and focused on conquest. Grenier provides a major revision in understanding the place of warfare directed on noncombatants in the American military tradition, and his conclusions are relevant to understand US 'special operations' in the War on Terror.
