Book Review

Never Come to Peace Again: Pontiac's Uprising and the Fate of the British Empire in North America. By David Dixon. (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2005. xviii, 353 pp. $34.95, ISBN 0-8061-3656-1.)

Lively and engaging, David Dixon's Never Come to Peace Again is a highly detailed narrative account of the connection between the final outcome of the Seven Years' War and the American Revolution. Well-researched (at least in the available English sources), Dixon's book will be useful to readers looking for an introduction to the history of Pontiac's resistance. For a more analytical and interpretive approach to this history, however, specialists are better served by Gregory Evans Dowd's War under Heaven: Pontiac, the Indian Nations, and the British Empire (2002), a book with which Dixon's must inevitably be compared. There is room, of course, for two very different approaches, and our understanding of the monumental importance of the events of the summer of 1763 is enriched by the approach that Dixon takes.
