Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West by Dee Brown

5.0

Five stars for historical and cultural significance. Shatters any illusion that America was founded on values of dignity and respect for anyone different, especially non-Europeans and not of the accepted religion. Heartbreaking accounts of pervasive bullying, oppression, and violence for people of a different culture fueled by greed, ignorance, and fear. Glimmers of humanity are betrayed by injustice.

This is a life-changing book that will endure because it reveals the truth of the darkness within humankind.
