The Last Stand: Custer, Sitting Bull, and the Battle of the Little Bighorn by Nathaniel Philbrick
4.0
Philbrick once again connects exhaustive research with extraordinary personalities. Custer, Sitting Bull and the other men and women drawn into the cataclysm of the American West are fully fleshed people, complete with character flaws, vanity, and irresistible charisma and leadership skills.
The tragedy of the genocide of native cultures is laid bare, and the atrocities on both sides of the conflict often make for hard reading. I have a new and troubled appreciation for the costs associated with the "sea to shining sea" drive of our nation.
