B. Schultz. :King Philip's War: The History and Legacy of America's Forgotten Conflict
The book King Philip's war The History and Legacy of America's Forgotten Conflict by Eric B.Schultz tells the story of the little known points of the battle of the New England land which is known to be a very crucial point in history seeing how the battle was the battle for the power and control of the new world.Furthermore the book is divided into three parts, the first part of the book chorchially retells the story of the war from different sites and the dozens of tribes and how they were involed.Additionally the tells about the different tribes and leaders and the locations of the events.Furthermore the second part of the book was organized geographically

The author gives a complete overview of the whole war displaying the different event and over fifty battles that occurred in the war.Also he shows pivotal moment in the war that may have turned the war around. Additionally the author shows his point of view on how the English did not believe they started the war he explains that the English believed that their people had risen up against them and also that feel the were taking care of the native Americans. Aslo he talks about how the war was one of the shortest wars in American history but also the bloodiest war in American history.He then begins to break down how this war is so

The King Philip's War is similar to a championship game in sports in the sense its winner take all and the new world is the trophy when it's all said and done.Ulimately the King Phillips war becomes the prototype for nearly all the white and native Americans conflicts for the next 200 plus years from the French Indian war to the Sioux wars. Also this war shows the complete outline of what America has done for centuries which is take land from the original owners and provided a genocide and all different cultures and groups of people. This war was said to be one of the most bloodiest wars nearly 4,000 Indians were killed in such a short span of time. All in all the book was a great read the book displayed lots hidden battles and events that happened in the war like where the author tells give a small detail that the Indians believed that the killing of King Phillips brother Wamsutta was done by the English and it is what began the tension between the too.Further more I believed the author may have been a little basis in his tellings of the war and some what forces his beliefs on the war and why it's so hidden in American history which also I did not agree with I feel this story is very well known in American yes there are hidden stories and beliefs about the war but not more than any other
