Gregory Dowd has provided a masterful narrative and analysis of the war, grounded in deep research and insightful readings of the primary sources. He offers an important new interpretation of the conflict, showing how the British and Indian nations understood the war as a struggle for social and political status within the empire. War under Heaven represents a major contribution to understanding eighteenth-century America." - Colin G. Calloway, Professor of History and Native American Studies at Dartmouth College and author of New Worlds for All: Indians, Europeans, and the Remaking of Early America.

Minor general wear. 2002 Hard Cover. xvi, 360 pp. The 1763 Treaty of Paris ceded much of the continent east of the Mississippi to Great Britain, a claim which the Indian nations of the Great Lakes, who suddenly found themselves under British rule, considered outrageous. Unlike the French, with whom Great Lakes Indians had formed an alliance of convenience, the British entered the upper Great Lakes in a spirit of conquest. British officers on the frontier keenly felt the need to assert their assumed superiority over both Native Americans and European settlers. At the same time, Indian leaders expected appropriate tokens of British regard, gifts the British refused to give. It is this issue of respect that, according to Gregory Dowd, lies at the root of the war the Ottawa chief Pontiac and his alliance of Great Lakes Indians waged on the British Empire between 1763 and 1767.
