Michael Tougias is the coauthor of "King Philips War," one of the most authoritative books on its subject. But in this novel, he brings the war to life through rich characterization and a fast-paced storyline. Here is what one reviewer wrote:
"Contrary to the popular impression, the Europeans' war against the Indians didn't begin on the Great Plains and everything wasn't all brotherhood in New England after the first Thanksgiving. Before the 1600s were over, the deadliest war on American soil -- as a percentage of the population -- had taken place. "Until I Have No Country" is a first-rate look at the forgotten King Philip's war. What makes the book interesting are several factors: rich detail, good characters and a rare display of the conflict from the point of view of both sides. The reader sympathizes with the Indians as they feel their kindness betrayed and don't want to lose any more land. The reader sympathizes with the colonists as they feel too confined and want more land. For anyone interested in life in America soon after contact, Touglas' book is a sure-fire hit."
And another:
"This is a well written historical novel and the facts are woven into the story along with actual characters of the Massachusetts Bay Colony era.
Great book for female or male readers who like history.
The novel shows the feelings of the settlers as well as the Indians of King Phillip's War 1675-1676.......both sides loved and lost family members and friends".
The tension is constant and the book is "too soon finished".
