Indeh: A Story of the Apache Wars by Ethan Hawke
3.0
This was a fascinating exploration about a portion of American history that I am woefully ignorant of. I appreciate there was a list of further reading too. This book is good to whet the appetite, but not substantial enough to really satisfy it.

The book does a good job showing the different philosophies and motivations of key players in these conflicts. The concerns of health and safety lead some Apache groups to an appeasement with United States forces, while others felt only a militant defense could protect the people and the land. Similarly, some United States military leaders had a more sympathetic view of the indigenous people and their circumstances, while others were far more comfortable using force and a policy of utter termination of an indigenous presence in the land.
Some of the art in this book was gorgeous, though many characters, especially some of the US military brass, were hard to differentiate.
