Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is one of those books that is impossible to rate. It's hard to read, talks of events in brutal ways, and exposes the injustices many Americans are blissfully unaware of. Dee Brown is an exceptional story-teller, incredibly talented in her art. She tells the tales in the oral story telling tradition, which makes the book harder to read, since you have to read it aloud to yourself while reading. It would make a great audiobook.
A colleague recommended this book to me and anyone else who hasn't read it. And he's right - everyone needs to read this book.
