0;Hamalainen not only puts Native Americans back into the story but also gives them2;particularly the Comanche2;recognition as major historical players who shaped events and outcomes.1;2;Sherry Smith, Southern Methodist University -- Sherry Smith, "Hmlinen not only puts Native Americans back into the story but also gives them-particularly the Comanche-recognition as major historical players who shaped events and outcomes."-Sherry Smith, Southern Methodist University, author of Reimagining Indians: Native Americans Through Anglo Eyes, 1880-1940, " The Comanche Empire is a landmark study that will make readers see the history of southwestern America in an entirely new way."David J. Weber, author of Barbaros: Spaniards and Their Savages in the Age of Enlightenment, "Pekka Hmlinen profoundly alters our understanding of the American Southwest, asserting that Comanche expansion and domination eclipsed European imperialism over the 18th and early 19th centuries. Readers of this ambitious and discerning ethnohistory learn close-up how the Comanches made colonial as well as native communities the building blocks of their own ascendancy. In a counter-narrative to frontier history and a revision of borderlands study, Hmlinen features the contingency of historical change and the agency of Indian people."-Daniel H. Usner, Vanderbilt University, "This exhilarating book is not just a pleasure to read; important and challenging ideas circulate through it and compel attention. It is a nuanced account of the complex social, cultural, and biological interactions that the acquisition of the horse unleashed in North America, and a brilliant analysis of a Comanche social formation that dominated the Southern Plains. Parts of the book will be controversial, but the book as a whole is a tour de force."Richard White, author of The Middle Ground: Indians, Empires, and Republics in the Great Lakes Region, 1650-1815, "This book deserves all the accolades it has and will receive.
