从 16 世纪西班牙征服者的毁灭性入侵到 150 年后白人定居者的无情压力，《残酷的清算》讲述了美国南部广阔的印第安人领土遭到侵占的故事，这场战争引发了美国印第安人历史上血腥的克里克战争，并使安德鲁·杰克逊在率领美国军队进行残酷战役时声名鹊起。

这场战争不仅涉及白人美国人和印第安人，还涉及英国人和西班牙人，并导致了血泪之路，政府强行将整个克里克人以及邻近的奇卡索人、乔克托人和切罗基人从他们的家园驱逐出去，为征服西部铺平了道路。没有其他任何一场印第安人冲突对这个国家的命运产生过如此重大的影响。

《残酷的清算》以精彩的叙述和出色的细节，全面地记录了美国原住民部落毁灭的关键时期的历史。

'Cozzens is a master storyteller' The Times

'Extremely well researched' Times Literary Supplement

From the devastating invasion by Spanish conquistadors in the sixteenth century to the relentless pressure from white settlers 150 years later, A Brutal Reckoning tells the story of encroachment on the vast Native American territory in the Deep South, which gave rise to the Creek War, the bloodiest in American Indian history, and propelled Andrew Jackson into national prominence, as he led the US Army in a ruthless campaign.

It was a war that involved not only white Americans and Native Americans but also the British and the Spanish, and ultimately led to the Trail of Tears, in which the government forcibly removed the entire Creek people, as well as the neighbouring Chickasaw, Choctaw and Cherokee nations, from their homelands, leaving the way open for the conquest of the West. No other single Indian conflict had such a significant impact on the fate of the country.

Wonderfully told and brilliantly detailed, A Brutal Reckoning is a sweeping history of a crucial period in the destruction of America's native tribes.
