From Black Hawk helicopters to the exclamation \"Geronimo\" used by paratroopers jumping from airplanes, words and images referring to Indians have been indelibly linked with warfare. In \u003ci\u003eIndian Wars Everywhere\u003c\/i\u003e, Stefan Aune shows how these resonances signal a deeper history, one in which the Indian Wars function as a shadow doctrine that influences US military violence. The United States' formative acts of colonial violence persist in the actions, imaginations, and stories that have facilitated the spread of American empire, from the \"savage wars\" of the nineteenth century to the counterinsurgencies of the Global War on Terror. Ranging across centuries and continents, \u003ci\u003eIndian Wars Everywhere \u003c\/i\u003econsiders what it means for the conquest of Native peoples to be deemed a success that can be used as a blueprint for modern warfare. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy does the American military name helicopters and missiles after American Indians, designate every war zone 'Indian Country, ' and repeatedly take Geronimo's name in vain? In this stunning book, Stefan Aune explores the relations of violence and desire that have shaped counterinsurgency strategy. Making colonial histories speak directly to the contemporary War on Terror, \u003ci\u003eIndian Wars Everywhere\u003c\/i\u003e is a powerful work of cultural history, brilliantly written and utterly convincing.--Phil Deloria, author of \u003ci\u003eIndians in Unexpected Places \u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Aune's analysis is highly sophisticated and well supported through extensive research. The topic is vitally important as Americans are increasingly aware of the need to reckon with the deep roots of injustice and violence, particularly against communities of color, including Indigenous peoples and nations, as well as America's seemingly unending wars around the world.\"--Jeffrey Ostler, author of \u003ci\u003eSurviving Genocide: Native Nations and the United States from the American Revolution to Bleeding Kansas \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"This is a stunning work of interdisciplinary cultural history.
