description

William C. Meadows’ book represents the last significant ethnographical work to result from over twenty years of anthropological observation among the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache. The presented case-study of these indigenous military societies focuses on their strong martial ethos and warrior culture that preserves peculiar and secular social sodalities over time.
