Book Recommendation: The Comanche Empire by Pekka Hämäläinen (Patreon)

For centuries, there was this strange vast land between the French or the Americans in Louisiana, and the Spanish to the south in the great plains of the modern US. Wedged in this land was a surprising empire called the Comanches. This book looks at these people, how their empire worked, and the keys to their success, by a diplomatic historian.
