This is not something I would normally choose to read, but I gave it a chance as I enjoy Native American culture. It was about as captivating and informative as I can imagine a book on this topic could be. Impressive, enlightening and highly recommended.

I greatly enjoyed this book. The author presented the dark story of an empire's end in a nuanced and sensitive fashion, but was not afraid to give the reader the full details of the horrors both sides suffered during the long war between white settlers and the Comanche nation.
