With the courage and resilience embodied by their legendary leader Tecumseh; the Shawnees waged a war of territorial and cultural resistance for half a century. Noted historian Colin G. Calloway details the political and legal battles and the bloody fighting on both sides for possession of the Shawnees? land; while imbuing historical figures such as warrior chief Tecumseh; Daniel Boone; and Andrew Jackson with all their ambiguity and complexity. More than defending their territory; the Shawnees went to war to preserve a way of life and their own deeply held vision of what their nation should be.

Better Than GarlicBy Aurora LeeTo date I've read everything Robert Greene has in print and; much to my surprise; this turned out to be the most useful volume of all. Greene's other books were immensely helpful for clearing my head of cobwebs since; along with everyone else; I'm forced to negotiate our brave new world of cutthroat tactics and social Darwinists; while trying to keep a roof over my head. Without going into detail; let me simply say The 33 Strategies of War taught me exactly what I needed to know in order to adequately discourage the bullying I have had to endure at work for the past three years. Until I can find another job -- not all wars are winnable -- I can now keep this workplace vampire's demeaning behaviors in check. I recommend all of Greene's books; but this one may well be the best investment of the lot.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. but this is a good book for the business owners out there because if ...By CustomerI think that you must strive to get along with everyone around you; but this is a good book for the business owners out there because if you own a business your competition wants you to go out of business that is the truth so you must be ready; but ideally DO NOT treat other businesses as your enemies!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. My First Book By Robert Greene; I Could NOT Put It Down.By Cheryl Y. DagueThis book is excellent! It was my first book written by Robert Greene. I wanted to write a book myself on the same topics. But after reading this informative and wonderfully organize piece; I asked myself 'Why?" After reading how each strategy worked for those in past battles; history plus use; there was nothing left to say but "perfect'. Each step of the way; the information not found in general history class comes alive. The information becomes useful. What is hidden from view becomes alive in the present. I keep this and this authors other books well within my reach. I realize once reading; man will always be man. What does one choose to become with what he has been given. Thank you.
