Just the kind of history I don't care for – endless, tedious details about battles. Enjoyed first third or so of the book, but disappointed by the rest.
I was listening to this this summer, and I also have a hard copy. I appreciate how it shows me how much the Puritans were constantly negotiating with, interacting with, and vulnerable to their indigenous neighbors. I did not realize until I started that he began by looking at Metacom‘s war. He realized that he needed to go back to see what went wrong. I stopped listening on the verge of the war, but feel that I have enough to improve my lectures.
