Binding: Paperback
Description: In June of 1876, on a hill above a river called the Little Bighorn George Armstrong Custer and all 210 men under his direct command were annihilated by 2,000 Sioux and Cheyenne. The news of this stunning defeat caused an uproar and those involved promptly began to point fingers in order to avoid responsibility. Custer who was conveniently dead took the brunt of the blame. The truth however was far more complex. A Terrible Glory is the first book to tell the entire story of this fascinating battle and the first to call upon new findings of the last 25 years - which have changed how this event is perceived. It is also the first book to reveal the details of the cover - up - and unravel one of the greatest mysteries in military history. Scrupulously researched A Terrible Glory will stand as a 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.
