Opsrey Men-at-Arms Series #63
By Philip Katcher & G.A. Embleton
This book focuses on the US campaigns against the Apaches and Plains Indians. The subject matter is far too broad to be covered in such a short book. The pictures are a big disappointment. There are few pictures of the Indians; only one Apache warrior is shown. There are a lot of pictures of the army and cavalry, including a page of full dress uniforms and another page showing winter dress (not very useful to the average wargamer). The book doesn't include very much background on the wars and I believe some of the information is inaccurate.
