Book Reviews of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West

Book Review: No emotional stone left unturned
Summary: 5 Stars

I haven't even finished reading the book yet but I can say without a shadow of a doubt that it is one of the most emotive history books I have ever read. As a student of history for many years I have rarely come across a piece of work that evokes the emotion and interest of the reader in the way this book does. A tremendous survey of the Indian frontier wars which I cannot recommend highly enough.
