1775—The conflict between the British Empire and the American colonies erupts in all-out war. Rebels and loyalists to the British Crown compete for an alliance with the Six Nations of the Iroquois, the most powerful Indian confederation, boasting a constitution hundreds of years old. In the Mohawk River Valley, Native Americans and colonists have co-existed for generations. But as the thunder of war approaches and the United States struggles violently into existence, old bonds are broken, friends and families are split by betrayal, and this mixed community is riven by hatred and resentment. To save his threatened world, the Mohawk war chief Joseph Brant sets off in a restless journey that will take him from New York to the salons of Georgian London at the heart of the British Empire.

Column Out Of Books Manituana

another historical blockbuster from the Italian collective that takes an alternative look at the American revolution. Every page teems with life and my favourite section was a vivid portrayal of early London capitalism and the first resistance to it.

I'm currently reading it, so my expectations can be changed

After the superb Q, I decided to give a try to this one despite that its subject is of much less interest to me; the book is well written, most likely is technically better than Q but I could not care that much about the characters and what was happening; history rolled over a group of people, not for the first nor last time and Joseph Brant is not that a compelling character to make the book stand out; still a good read and I am interested in the sequel(s)

The blurb for this fabulous book describes it as a story from the wrong side of history, and it is easy to forget in North American history just how wrong the side is. The Mohawk nation, one the Six Nations of what is now upstate New York and borderland Ontario, was once lionised as among the most civilised of the native peoples. The Six Nations (known widely by their French label Iroquois, and less widely by their own collective name Haudenosaunee), among other things, provided the model of a

Interesting view into the complicated dynamics between colonists, loyalists, and Native AMericans during the Revolutionary War. Fun summer epic, not as politically charged as I'd expected from Verso.

As the adv warns you, this is the story of those who sided on the wrong side of History and yet you cannot help but identify with their doomed fate. But what this book perfectly shows is that the distinction between wrong and right is all a matter of perspectives.The atmosphere is melancholic and peaceful in contrast with the pace of events. A sweet sadness permeates the whole narration since the very beginning, culminating in the last pages as events deteriorates. It is as if the writers
