From Russell Shorto's review of Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community and War by Nathaniel Patrick:
'"When violence and fear grip a society, there is an almost overwhelming temptation to demonize the enemy," {Philbrick} writes, referring to both the English and the Indians during King Philip's War. But some on both sides refused to succumb: "They were the ones whose rambunctious and intrinsically rebellious faith in humanity finally brought the war to an end, and they are the heroes of this story."'
