Paul Andrew Hutton presents a detailed account of the longest war in American history which lasted from 1861 to 1890. The Apache Wars is an exhaustive military history of the war which was precipitated by the Apaches' kidnapping of a mixed Mexican-Irish boy named Felix Ward, who was renamed Mickey Free by the Apaches. The rest of the book deals with the various military campaigns into Indian territory in order to get him back.
The Apache Wars reads like a historical thriller. Hutton presents vivid historical details and he definitely knows how to engage the reader. His account of the war is very well-researched and enthralling and it definitely shows throughout the book. Reading his account, the reader feels like they are right there in the middle of the action.
I would definitely recommend this book to any history and military buff.
Disclaimer: I received a free copy of the book through Blogging for Books in exchange for an honest review.
