"A delightful-to-read piece of American history."
--"Kirkus Reviews

"Impressive. . . "Conquered into Liberty" excels in its demonstration of the ways in which important components of the American military tradition emerged. . . The stories that Cohen recounts are valuable not only instrumentally--as keys to the origins of the American way of war--but also intrinsically. Simply put, the book contains much interesting . . . history that is likely to be unfamiliar to most readers. . . "Conquered into Liberty" deserves a wide readership that should certainly include anyone interested in American history or military history." --"""The Weekly Standard"
""Conquered Into Liberty "provides an innovative approach to the telling of military history that helps the reader better understand the present. [The book] has a valued place in the library of anyone who wishes to understand the development of the United States and its approach to war."
- "New York Journal of Books"
""Conquered Into Liberty" is beautiful narrative history: The author is a poetic and evocative storyteller. But the book is also valuable for the lessons it imparts and the heritage it conveys. The experience along the Great Warpath has seeped into the American character and helped prepare subsequent warriors to appreciate Washington's famous declaration: 'If you wish for peace, prepare for war.' The Great Warpath's legacy helps our soldiers know that one of the obligations of citizenship is to understand the character of war." -Josiah Bunting, "The Washington Post"
"Mr. Cohen has thus produced the opposite of a dry-as-dust academic tome, and it is full of surprises. . . . As "Conquered Into Liberty" memorably shows, one territory of the country knew little peace for more than a century." "--Wall Street Journal"
"Broad in scope and gripping in its narrative, "Conquered into Liberty"is as informative as it is captivating." --"""ARMY Magazine"
"A brilliant history of our least-known wars on our most-ignored frontier -- our northern border with Canada."
-Doyle McManus
"A fine, thoughtful treatment of a period of American history that rarely receives much attention."--"Seattle Times
"
"Conquered into Liberty" is a labor of love. Yet Cohen brings to this project far more than a history buff's enthusiasm. He has spent lifetime writing about military affairs, and the results of his research and reflection are evident on every page of a narrative that does not hesitate to invoke modern comparisons to put the struggles of the past into perspective. ["Conquered into Liberty"] will serve to acquaint a new generation with some of the lesser-known battles that did so much to shape the early Republic." --Max Boot, ""Commentary Magazine ""
