Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
An ?indescribably touching, extraordinarily intelligent' (Los Angeles Times Book Review) chronicle of a fatal gunbattle between FBI agents and American Indian Movement activists by renowned writer Peter Matthiessen (19272014), author of the National Book Awardwinning The Snow Leopard and the novel In ParadiseOn a hot June morning in 1975, a desperate shootout between FBI agents and Native Americans near Wounded Knee, South Dakota, left an Indian and two federal agents dead. Four members of the American Indian Movement were indicted on murder charges, and one, Leonard Peltier, was convicted and is now serving consecutive life sentences in a federal penitentiary. Behind this violent chain of events lie issues of great complexity and profound historical resonance, brilliantly explicated by Peter Matthiessen in this controversial book. Kept off the shelves for eight years because of one of the most protracted and bitterly fought legal cases in publishing history, In the Spirit of Crazy Horse reveals the Lakota tribe?s long struggle with the U.S. government, and makes clear why the traditional Indian concept of the earth is so important at a time when increasing populations are destroying the precious resources of our world.
