Book Review: Custer's Last Stand
Summary: 4 Stars

I wanted to research the "true" story of the demise of Custer and found the book to be extremely detailed and even-handed. The writer was recognized as one of our best Western authors, with good reason I would say.

Summary of A Terrible Glory: Custer and the Little Bighorn - the Last Great Battle of the American West

In June of 1876, on a hill above a winding river called "the Little Bighorn," George Armstrong Custer and all 210 men under his direct command were annihilated by nearly 2,000 Sioux and Cheyenne. This devastating loss caused an uproar, and public figures pointed fingers in order to avoid responsibility. Custer, who was conveniently dead, took the brunt of the blame.

The truth, however, was far more complex. A TERRIBLE GLORY is the first book to relate the entire story of this endlessly fascinating battle, and the first to call upon all the vital new forensic research of the past quarter century. It is also the first book to bring to light the details of the army cover-up--and unravel one of the greatest mysteries in US military history.
