Hardcover. New York, Free Press, 1st, 2011, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, 405 pages. B/w illustrations throughout. Gilt title on spine. In great shape, clean inside and out. From the front flap: "In Conquered into Liberty, Cohen describes how five peoples -- the British, French, Americans, Canadians, and Indians -- fought over the key to the north American continent: the corridor running from Albany to Montreal dominated by the Champlain valley and known to Native Americans as the 'Great Warpath'. Through a vivid narration of a series of fights -- woodland skirmishes and massacres, bloody frontal assaults and fleet actions, rear-guard battles and shadowy covert actions -- Cohen explores how a distinctively American approach to war developed along the Great Warpath."
