While the Civil War is famous for epic battles involving massive armies engaged in conventional warfare; A Savage Conflict is the first work to treat guerrilla warfare as critical to understanding the course and outcome of the Civil War. Daniel Sutherland argues that irregular warfare took a large toll on the Confederate war effort by weakening support for state and national governments and diminishing the trust citizens had in their officials to protect them.

Excellent background book for genealogyBy Paula NaujalisI bought this book because I understood that a few of my ancestors were quoted in it; as a genealogist; I look for every mention of my ancestors possible! But this book brought home the staggering (to me; I never said I was smart) fact that not all conflict between settlers and Native Americans took place on the plains. Many; many conflicts took place right here in the midwest; in Ohio; Michigan; etc. And this book provides an excellent description of the people and events of this period of settlement. It adds a dimension to my research; and is an fascinating study.
