The Military History Group discussion

Hi everyone, sorry I haven’t used the group in a while, I’ve been busy, but I was glad to see some people are using it recently.

I just finished a book on Lewis and Clark, and I was looking for a good book recommendation from you guys. I was thinking about a book that talks about the American Indian wars, or a book on the war of 1812, but really any books that anyone in the group has read recently -history wise- that they think are worth reading about any historical topic.

Crucible of War: The Seven Years' War and the Fate of Empire in British North America, 1754 - 1766 by Fred Anderson
The Incredible War of 1812: A Military History by J. Mackay Hitsman

and I was talked into the great primer The Arabs: A History by Eugene Rogan

"The Earth Is Weeping: The Epic Story of the Indian Wars for the American West" by Peter Cozzens is an excellent book on the Indian Wars.

The Earth Is Weeping: The Epic Story of the Indian Wars for the American West by Peter Cozzens

Hi Creighton--thanks for starting this group! I'm really enjoying the interactions and book recommendations. I've made several great GR friends as a result.

Dimitri and Rick, I'll check out the books you've mentioned above.

I read Peter Cozzens' book by Peter Cozzens and it was very good.

The Earth Is Weeping: The Epic Story of the Indian Wars for the American West looks just as interesting.

The most recent one that I read was Demons of Unrest by Eric Larson that was about the events leading up to the US Civil War battle for Fort Sumter. One of my favorites is Grant by Ron Chernow.
