Track leading to conflict (7)

I believe the answer is:

warpath

(Other definitions for warpath that I've seen before include "Route taken by militant Red Indians" , "On this one is pursuing troublemakers" , "Road to battle" , "On which one is in angry mood" , "One's heading for conflict when on it" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
