This book is about a band of Mohawks who said “Enough.” Enough to a people they had welcomed to their land four and a half centuries ago but who now wanted to rob them of their last heritage and take it for themselves. It is also the story of the lethargy of governments and fatal miscalculations made by a provincial police force. At the same time it is the story of a well-disciplined army that did the job it was sent to do. There were no clear cut victors in this war but the Mohawk Iroquois gave notice that they meant it when they said: Enough!”
