Warriors of the World The Native American Warrior 1500 CE 1890 CE
Author: Chris McNab, Amber Books

A new, lavishly illustrated book on the weapons, uniforms, and other key details that defined the world?s most legendary warriors This illustrated book examines the various tribes that fought both themselves and the various European colonizers across the North American continent, and how the equipment and training of the braves wit... more »hin each tribe developed over time. From the first contact tribes in New England to the remote tribes of the Northwest, the book examines the significant differences between how warriors actually fought, the equipment they used to fight, and the reason why such different combat techniques were used. It also demonstrates the effects of European and American technology on how Native American braves waged war. With detailed color illustrations and fact-filled accompanying text, Warriors of the World is the essential guide for any enthusiast for the period. Chris McNab is a writer and editor based in South Wales, UK. He has produced over twenty-five books on military history, martial arts, survival, and other topics, and has written extensively on firearms, his titles include: Weapons of War: AK47, 20th Century Small Arms, Combat Techniques, Living Off The Land, and The Illustrated History Of The Vietnam War. Working from entirely different traditions of combat and honor, the Native Americans' typical ambush and raiding tactics, based on indigenous hunting techniques, have often been misunderstood by European observers used to a more direct style of warfare. Warriors of the World: The Native American Warrior 1500-1890 CE explores the history of Native american combat from 1500 to the late nineteenth century, encompassing the period in which North America was colonized and transformed into the United States and Canada.

The Native American Warrior covers many different aspects of Native American warfare, including the fundamental changes brought about by the introduction of the horse and firearms, the use of mounted hit-and-run tactics by the plains-dwelling Sioux, the construction of war lodges by thethe raiders, and the widespread use of camouflage and stealth tactics by tribes such as teh Cherokee.

Highly illustrated with more than 200 photographs, line drawings, and maps, Warriors of teh World; The Native American Warrior 1500-1890 CE is an accessible introduction to Native American warfare.
