What was once described as petite guerre, or small war, has often been used to describe the guerrilla warfare tactics used by early American soldiers since the Revolutionary War. Disrupting enemy troops, supply lines, and diminishing the enemy’s will to fight back was not only America’s first way of war, it has also evolved into modern counterinsurgency and specialized troop tactics used today.
Join us for an evening with author John Grenier as he speaks on his book The First Way of War: American War Making on the Frontier, which details the warfare tactics used in early American wars and their role in shaping American military heritage.
