How determined to keep your home would you be? Invasion of your country;what are you going to do... profiling, cruelty/terrorism, mob rule? The Conquerors is an account of Pontiac's War to unite the Indian tribes in purpose to expel the English from their country.

An interesting and sometimes shocking account that explains cultural beliefs of the various tribes and their approach to warfare.

This story felt relevant to today's struggles with people's reactions to the 'Global War on Terror' or the 'Overseas Contingency Operation'(if you prefer). How do we defend ourselves and still champion our values of freedom, civility and the rule of law?
