Until I Have No Country eBook Michael Tougias Reviews
Love this book. I could see a film being made out of it. A fast read. It's a love story, a war, and about revenge. It also gives accounts on both sides of the war. The Natives and the English.
This sensitive and interesting story gives an memorable understanding of the sequence of the events of the King Philip War and of the motivations and concerns of both the colonists and the Indians.
A Historical novel with the emphasis on history. Mike Tougias brings to life our first great Indian war by following the actions of two protagonists One is "King Philip's" most trusted warrior and friend, the other a colonist from outlying Medfield, Mass. The scene is 50 years after Massasoit welcomed the Pilgrims to Plymouth, when his son Metacom (known to the colonists as Philip) instigates a last ditch war to oust the English colonists. The novel is adept at illuminating the way of life of the Wompanoags and other Algonquin tribes of Southern New England, and illustrates the difficulty of the task they felt compelled to undertake. Historical accuracy is Tougias' watchword, but he still manages to turn out a fast-paced compelling story. Although the author is more naturalist than novelist, it is hard to tell here as the characters, especially the Wompanoag ones, gain a depth throughout the story.
Mass. readers will get a lot of local color out of it - such as the events that led to the naming of Turner's Falls, but all readers will get a gripping story of a war whose basic themes would be repeated over and over for the next 200 years.
Contrary to the popular impression, the Europeans' war against the Indians didn't begin on the Great Plains and everything wasn't all brotherhood in New England after the first Thanksgiving. Before the 1600s were over, the deadliest war on American soil -- as a percentage of the population -- had taken place. "Until I Have No Country" is a first-rate look at the forgotten King Philip's war. What makes the book interesting are several factors rich detail, good characters and a rare display of the conflict from the point of view of both sides. The reader sympathizes with the Indians as they feel their kindness betrayed and don't want to lose any more land. The reader sympathizes with the colonists as they feel too confined and want more land. For anyone interested in life in America soon after contact, Touglas' book is a sure-fire hit.
I enjoyed it.
Book was well written and extremely interesting. it exceeded my expectation. If a person has any interest in the King Phillip War, I highly recommend reading this book.
A very easy read. Helps to put the unfortunate war between the native peoples and the English colonists into better perspective. I highly recommend reading this as well as Tougias' book about King Philip's War and Mary Rowlandson's account of her many months in captivity. Contrary to what I learned growing up, the genocide of the American Indian started in Massachusetts NOT out in the American West.
Loved this book!
