Abraham in Arms by Ann M Little

"A creative and fascinating tour-de-forceSweeping across two centuries of conflict in the colonial Northeast, from the Pequot War of 1636-37 to the Seven Years' War of the mid-eighteenth century, Little shows how northeastern Native peoples, English colonists, and French settlers interpreted each other's actions through the lens of their own gendered sense of proper social order. The book makes a very persuasive case for gender being central to any study of war that historians might undertake, and the writing flows elegantly from insight to insight."--Nancy Shoemaker, University of Connecticut

Ann M. Little is Associate Professor of History at Colorado State University.
