Book Reviews of In the Spirit of Crazy Horse
Book Review: Shock & Awe In America
Summary: 5 Stars
This book picks up where "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" left off, and unfortunately for Indian people the story does't get any happier. This book should be required reading for every high school student, journalist, politician or law enforcement professional. It shows us that despite the fine and uplifting words of the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Declaration of Independence that support our democracy, human dignity and civil rights always need to be fought for and protected by people. Unfortunately for all of us, sometimes innocent people lose the battle, and this is a story about some of them. Please read this book, you will not be sorry you did.Book Review: ANGER IS A GIFT.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is an excellant read. It covers the history of the American Indian Movement (AIM) up to the point of the of Leonard Peltier. This book opens your mind to the harse reality of the U.S. Government and it's ways. If you like true stories of Gov't conspiracies and it's molestation of human rights, I recomend this book highly. I also suggest you buy the two "Rage Against the Machine" albums, they touch on this subject several times. Also you should take a look at the award winning documentury "Incident at Oglala". A special produced by Robert Redford that also tells the story of Leonard Peltier. Fight the power!!!Book Review: Excellent, thought-provoking, action-inspiring book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent book. Peter Matthiessen covers all the bases. His depth of coverage is astounding. Everytime I had a question about a person or event, they were answered somewhere in the book. It is an amazing telling of what are truly frightening events in our history. It creates a desire to learn more and more, not just about what happened to the Lakota people, but about our government. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone! The fact that it took so long to be published speaks volumes about the content.Book Review: The best book written re the plight of AIM & Leonard Peltier
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read this book three times so far. It is a very interesting book which deals with the way the American Indian Movement ("AIM") and Leonard Peltier were prosecuted by the government back in the sixties and seventies. I urge all people who would like to know the truth about the incident to read this book. The book deals with some very difficult topics but once read, you'll walk away shaking your head and asking yourself "How can this happen? This is America?"Book Review: Outstanding
Summary: 5 Stars
An outstanding work from an outstanding person. This book represents an extensive investigation of the way those who challenge the status quo and the lies of history are dealt with by the "pillars of our society".The Indian people whose lives the book documents, like many others in our world, are in the front line of this challenge. They deserve all our support. Reading this book is the least you can do to acknowledge your own humanity.
