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.
