Winner Of The 2016 Pulitzer Prize For Historyfrom The Winner Of Two Pulitzer Prizes And A National Book Award, A Brilliant Biography Of Gen. George Armstrong Custer That Radically Changes Our View Of The Man And His Turbulent Times.In This Magisterial Biography, T. J. Stiles Paints A Portrait Of Custer Both Deeply Personal And Sweeping In Scope, Proving How Much Of Custers Legacy Has Been Ignored. He Demolishes Custers Historical Caricature, Revealing A Volatile, Contradictory, Intense Personcapable Yet Insecure, Intelligent Yet Bigoted, Passionate Yet Selfdestructive, A Romantic Individualist At Odds With The Institution Of The Military (He Was Courtmartialed Twice In Six Years).The Key To Understanding Custer, Stiles Writes, Is Keeping In Mind That He Lived On A Frontier In Time. In The Civil War, The West, And Many Areas Overlooked In Previous Biographies, Custer Helped To Create Modern America, But He Could Never Adapt To It. He Freed Countless Slaves Yet Rejected New Civil Rights Laws. He Proved His Heroism But Missed The Dark Reality Of War For So Many Others. A Talented Combat Leader, He Struggled As A Manager In The West.He Tried To Make A Fortune On Wall Street Yet Never Connected With The New Corporate Economy. Native Americans Fascinated Him, But He Could Not See Them As Fully Human. A Popular Writer, He Remained Apart From Ambrose Bierce, Mark Twain, And Other Rising Intellectuals. During Custers Lifetime, Americans Saw Their World Remade. His Admirers Saw Him As The Embodiment Of The Nations Gallant Youth, Of All That They Were Losing; His Detractors Despised Him For Resisting A More Complex And Promising Future. Intimate, Dramatic, And Provocative, This Biography Captures The Larger Story Of The Changing Nation In Custers Tumultuous Marriage To His Highly Educated Wife, Libbie; Their Complicated Relationship With Eliza Brown, The Forceful Black Woman Who Ran Their Household; As Well As His Battles And Expeditions. It Casts Surprising New Light On A Nearmythic American Figure, A Man Both Widely Known And Little Understood.
