A very informative text. Brooks engages deeply in a project of decolonizing historical practices and methodology as well as decolonizing an Anglo-European narrative of Natives in New England. The engagement with primary sources is deep and evident throughout the text, as is engagement with the archive and the presentation of underutilized sources in the narrative of King Philip's War. While I appreciated a lot of this text, it was very dense to read at times, and seemed sometimes purposefully confusing. I would not recommend this to anyone who does not have some prior knowledge of the events discussed in the book or to anyone without experience reading academic historical texts. While not accessible, I did find the book thought-provoking and would recommend it to anyone interested in historiography or historical methodology.
