The Invasion of America: Indians, Colonialism, and the Cant of Conquest (Published for the Omohundro Institute of Early American Hist) - Hardcover
In this iconoclastic book, Jennings recasts the story of American colonization as a territorial invasion. Shorn of old mythology and rationalizations, Puritan actions are seen in the cold light of material interest and naked expansion.
