Description

In June of 1876, on a desolate hill above a winding river called “the Little Bighorn,” George Armstrong Custer and all 210 men under his direct command were annihilated by almost 2,000 Sioux and Cheyenne. The news of this devastating loss caused a public uproar, and those in positions of power promptly began to point fingers with a purpose to steer clear of responsibility. Custer, who was once conveniently dead, took the brunt of the blame.

The truth, then again, was once far more complex. A TERRIBLE GLORY is the first book to relate all of the story of this ceaselessly fascinating battle, and the first to call upon the entire significant research and findings of the past twenty-five years–which have changed significantly how this controversial event is perceived. Furthermore, it is the first book to bring to light the main points of the U.S. Army cover-up–and get to the bottom of one of the vital greatest mysteries in U.S. military history.

Scrupulously researched, A TERRIBLE GLORY will stand as ta landmark work. Brimming with authentic detail and an unforgettable cast of characters–from Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse to Ulysses Grant and Custer himself–this is history with the sweep of a great novel.
