“A brilliant history of our least-known wars on our most-ignored frontier—our northern border with Canada†(Los Angeles Times).Redirecting our attention from the Civil War to the real conflict that consolidated the United States; Cohen describes how five groups— the British; French; Americans; Canadians; and Indians—fought over the key to the North American continent: the corridor running from Albany to Montreal; known to Native Americans as the “Great Warpath.†He explores how a distinctly American approach to war developed along these 200 miles; reintroducing characters we thought we knew—an admirable Benedict Arnold; a traitorous Ethan Allen; and a devious George Washington. A gripping read grounded in serious scholarship; Conquered into Liberty will enchant readers for decades to come.
