This was a short nonfiction narrative of the history of Utah. This felt less focused on the war and more on the political views from that time period. The book was an interesting read but the title felt a bit misleading. Overall if you are looking for a viewpoint of the history of the settling of Utah and not specifically a war per se, then this would give you a glimpse. Due to length no part of this narrative is covered in depth and it is, like most history books, attempted to stay more to the objective political history.
