This book was great.  Hadn't seen the movie yet.  Most of this book felt a lot like a slow burn prose thriller.  At times there were parts where you couldn't be sure it was non-fiction.  As you can see from my star review, I loved this.  

In some ways, better than his book, The Wager.

The audio book was great.  It has 3 narrators.  The first 2 were great. The third one was ok, but evocative.  Will Patton is an amazing reader. He was doing voices and accents and tone shifts and everything.

First nonfiction book that I’ve read in a while and what a good choice to get  back into the genre. Absolutely heartbreaking story that really makes you think about the history of the US and the dark sides of expansion. The writing and research are well thought out and organized but don’t feel like you’re reading a textbook. You come to know the characters as if they are still alive and grieve for/with them as they pass. Would recommend for anyone trying to get back in to nonfiction or, really, anyone wanting to read a good book.
