"Makes a good case that it was an empire. clear explication, sourced, for economics, politics, diplomacy, a little on the religion, population, technology. stunning how they devastated northern mexico for decades, how New Mexico bought peace, how white and native american trading groups prospered or didn't based on the commanche trade. gives me some more insight into how other horse and war technology empires rose and fell, like various larger asian migratory type empires such as the khazars, various turkish and mongol, etc."

By Alan, Turners Falls, MA

"This is brilliant history.The author presents a very different view of the Comanche nation than that of the traditional warrior, hunter-gather notion that has dominated the Western view. While perhaps stretching the term "empire" a bit, Hamalainen shows the Comanches as an adaptable and sophisticated society that successfully dominated the Southwest for over 150 years. Moving out of the Rockies at the beginning of the eighteenth century, the Comanches quickly pushed out competing tribes, most especially the Apache, to create a wide ranging and powerful, yet mobile power structure. By mid-century, they had become so dominant that they were able to stymie and then push back against Spanish North America. It was only after an ecological crash caused by over-harvesting of the bison and the determined might of the rapidly industrializing and growing US that their dominance was finally ended.

The book was very well written, persuasive and compelling. A first rate revisionist history."
