"The Cutting-Off Way: Indigenous Warfare in Eastern North America, 1500-1800" by Wayne E. Lee, published in the Register of the Kentucky Historical Society, explores the system of Indigenous warfare in the Eastern Woodlands of North America before and after contact. Lee grounds his analysis in historical, archaeological, and anthropological literature, highlighting the shared realities of Native American communities and the strategic thinking behind their warfare tactics. The book challenges Euro-American condescension towards Indigenous warfare and emphasizes the political importance and adaptability of Native American war strategies in the face of Euro-American contact.
