Apache Tactics 1830–86: Elite

Autor Robert N. Watt Ilustrat de Adam Hook
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 ian 2012
A fascinating study of one of the great Native American tribes and their attempt to preserve their independence during the 19th century.

The Apache culture of the latter half of the 19th century blended together the lifestyles of the Great Plains, Great Basin and the South-West, but it was their warfare that captured the imagination. This book reveals the skilful tactics of the Apache people as they raided and eluded the much larger and better-equipped US government forces.

Drawing on primary research conducted in the deserts of New Mexico and Arizona, this book reveals the small-unit warfare of the Apache tribes as they attempted to preserve their freedom, and in particular the actions of the most famous member of the Apache tribes - Geronimo.
