Until now, the story of Iroquois participation in the War of 1812 has not received detailed examination, and there have consequently been major gaps in our understanding of the Iroquois, their relations with Euroamerican society, and the course of the war itself. The Iroquois in the War of 1812 proves that, in fact, the Six Nations' involvement was 'too significant to ignore.'

Benn explores this involvement by focusing on Iroquois diplomatic, military, and cultural history during the conflict. He looks at the Iroquois' attempts to stay out of the war, their entry into hostilities, their modes of warfare, the roles they played in different campaigns, their relationships with their allies, and the effects that the war had on their society. He also details the military and diplomatic strength of the Iroquois during the conflict, despite the serious tensions that plagued their communities.

This account reveals how the British benefited more than the Americans from the contributions of their Iroquois allies, and underscores how important the Six Nations were to the successful defence of Canada. It will appeal to general readers in both Canada and the United States and will have relevance for students and scholars of military, colonial, and Native history.

Reviewed in Canada on February 4, 2016

Phenomenal book. Brought a lot of insight into why the various tribes within the Iroquois fought against one another. Having played lacrosse in the NALA, for the Niagara Falls Hawks, I travelled to several of the reserves - Brantford, Gowanda, Syracuse, Montreal etc. I also iron worked in Rochester during my University days and played for the Rochester Iroquois team for one summer. I couldn't understand some of the underlying tensions and animosity between, for example, the Mohawks from St. Regis and the Mohawks of the Grand River and other various tribes within the Niagara and upper New York regions. My very best friend was a Delaware/Mohawk and I spent a lot of time with him at the Six Nations Reserve. My heart breaks for what has happened to the Native people in North America. I still enjoy going to Six Nations for my corn soup and corn bread. Great Read. It will give you a great understanding of how the Iroquois Nation shaped Canadian History. Thank You Joseph Brant and the Grand River people as well as Tecumseh in the Detroit / Chatham battles. They played a major role in keeping Canada from becoming an American colony.
