'Cozzens is a master storyteller' The Times From the devastating
invasion by Spanish conquistadors in the sixteenth century to the
relentless pressure from white settlers 150 years later, A Brutal
Reckoning tells the story of encroachment on the vast Native
American territory in the Deep South, which gave rise to the Creek
War, the bloodiest in American Indian history, and propelled Andrew
Jackson into national prominence, as he led the US Army in a
ruthless campaign. It was a war that involved not only white
Americans and Native Americans but also the British and the
Spanish, and ultimately led to the Trail of Tears, in which the
government forcibly removed the entire Creek people, as well as the
neighbouring Chickasaw, Choctaw and Cherokee nations, from their
homelands, leaving the way open for the conquest of the West. No
other single Indian conflict had such a significant impact on the
fate of the country. Wonderfully told and brilliantly detailed, A
Brutal Reckoning is a sweeping history of a crucial period in the
destruction of America's native tribes.
