As a kid, I remember seeing a movie where the British lined up for a battle opposite their opponents. All I could think was, that makes no sense.
Whereas guerilla warfare that includes speed, sneak attacks, ruses, ambushes and clever uses of the landscape make a lot more sense.
Those are the strategies I learned about while researching THE FALCON, THE WOLF AND THE HUMMINGBIRD .
By nature I’m not a war-oriented person, but learning what strategies a tribe might have had to employ to survive, especially against a stronger aggressor, proved fascinating.
By the way, have you ever done archery?
Me: yes, both at a camp and because my son owns and uses a gorgeous recurve bow. The arm strength necessary to pull the bowstring is impressive!
