it's a lovely essay that takes you from the battle of snowshoes, mentally for me at least, to mogadishutoday's military. and again and again these the good points that early on that in america unlike in europe war became a year-round business. second, the french did better with the indians than the english and americans did. and this struck me because we continue to be flummoxed by tribes. it took us four years to engage7 them in iraq. he points out in other ways how as faulkner would say, the past is not the past, it's still with us in every way. like the code name he points out that the navy seals gave to their target in pakistan, osama bin laden: geronimo. most striking to me is something i want to dwell on for a minute s professor cohen's theme that the first sustained campaign against americans was a terrorist campaign. this is the french-sponsored series of indian raids along the american frontier in places like deerfield, massachusetts, not far from where my family lived for many years. in his description the massacre at fort william henry had somewhat the same effect on colonial
