Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Little Big Horn ExplainedThis book is sourced from primary accounts and field archaeology of the battle site. It is the most insightful, defnitive and useful book on the Custer fight, having have read most others. It explains the differences between Indian & Cavalry battle philosophies, and reveals why Custer could not win victory at Little Big Horn, and the reasons why such a talented experienced commander missed seeing it til too late. The aftermath section of this comprehensive text shows how facts were ... Read More Rating: - Great "Last Stand".This is popular history done right. Grammar, punctuation and style all perfect; a fine-detail index, a thorough bibliography, and all conclusions documented in copious notes and references; maps at relevant scale spaced through the text, so you always know where you (and the combatants) are, and dozens of portraits, both native American and white, to help you keep track of who's who in the Northern Plains country; facts all organized, clear, and eminently readable, but not getting in the way of a horribly ... Read More Rating: - A terrible gloryThis was a wonderfuly written book. It had more facts about the Last Stand than any other book I have ever read. The history in this book was well written and the book was an interesting read. Rating: - A qualified 5 stars..."A Terrible Glory" is one of the few books I've read on 1800's era history. I can't comment on the accuracy of the claims or facts presented in this book. However, I can comment on the book's "readability" and apparent credibility...and ATG is an enjoyable work!! My prior opinion on Custer was one of a vain fop. However, the author brings the the man into light a one of social genius and puckish ego. If accurate, everyone knows someone like Custer and the author's telling helps the reader step ... Read More Rating: - One of the best books on the battle of the Little Big Horn, and I have read them all! Its great any time true versions of historic events are told...this does justice to this battle and I recommend it for any student of history.
