Book Critique

Order Description Book: Confer, C. W. (2012). The Cherokee Nation in the Civil War. University of Oklahoma Press. This paper is NOT a book report. As such it should not be a mere summary of the book. Instead, this is to be your findings concerning the book and your interpretations and critique of the author’s arguments. You should make sure to address the following: First, provide a basic overview of the subject matter of the book as well as the overall arguments the author is attempting to make. Provide an analysis and critique of the author’s approach to the subject -- how did the author get their point across? Explain the strengths and weaknesses in the book. Did this work answer questions you had about the subject? If so, how, and if not, what were you expecting from the work? Compare and contrast the book with other material on a similar topic, including the McPherson and Hogue textbook. How does the book author’s approach differ from McPherson and Hogue and any other related material you have read? Finally, what did you find interesting or compelling about the book? These should be specifics about the content and arguments of the author, rather than generalizations.
