Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
For more than a century, Americans have been captivated by the legend of General George Armstrong Custer. But the various truths of Custers life and last stand prove elusive. Why are we so taken with the myth and the socalled mystery behind the man?In a field teeming with highly partisan and wildly speculative treatments of Custer, Louise Barnett enters with a volume widely acclaimed by both military and cultural historians as the most balanced account of his life and legend. Custer's life spans two great eras of American history, and Barnett's commanding work pushes beyond the existing literature to a comprehensive view of this controversial figure.
