Supported by full-color illustrations, this study explores in startling new detail the musket and tomahawk forest warfare by which the French colonists and their allies battled to ensure the survival of New France.

The subsequent survival of New France can largely be attributed to an intelligent doctrine of raiding warfare developed by imaginative French officers through close contact with indigenous tribes and Canadian settlers. The groundbreaking new research explored in this study indicates that, far from the opportunism these raids seemed to represent, they were in fact the result of a deliberate plan to overcome numerical weakness by exploiting the potential of mixed parties of French soldiers, Cana
