A New York Times bestseller from the author of Band of Brothers: The biography of two fighters forever linked by history and the battle at Little Bighorn. On the sparkling morning of June 25, 1876, 611 men of the United States 7th Cavalry rode toward the banks of Little Bighorn in the Montana Territory, where three thousand Indians stood waiting for battle. The lives of two great warriors would … lives of two great warriors would soon be forever linked throughout history: Crazy Horse, leader of the Oglala Sioux, and General George Armstrong Custer. Both were men of aggression and supreme courage. Both became leaders in their societies at very early ages. Both were stripped of power, in disgrace, and worked to earn back the respect of their people. And to both of them, the unspoiled grandeur of the Great Plains of North America was an irresistible challenge. Their parallel lives would pave the way, in a manner unknown to either, for an inevitable clash between two nations fighting for possession of the open prairie.

Very interesting
too mixed up
Thorough history of both Crazyhorse and Custer. Their lives what formed their mindset in their adult lives.
Very interesting, compares Custer’ s and Crazy Horse’s perspectives of the same events.
Very educational
Very well written and insightful
Just such a good book in every way.
The US extermination of indians and buffalo was tragic. Both Custer and Crazy Horse were very brave and talented men.
W0W!
Not great.
