A review by shakespearesgirl
The Last Stand: Custer, Sitting Bull, and the Battle of the Little Bighorn by Nathaniel Philbrick
4.0
So much better than A Terrible Glory.
I think part of the problem I had with the other book was that I just didn't click with the writing style. I've loved every Philbrick book I've read, however, and this one was no exception. I also think that this book does a much better job covering the battle as a whole, and doesn't exclude the Lakota from the narrative nearly as much.
It did take me a while to get through this book, but that isn't a reflection on the book but rather on my suddenly very busy life starting a new job, going back to school, and planning a wedding all at once. So much to do, so little time!
