"I loved this book because of its focus not only on historical events, but personalities and cultures. Ambrose looks at the European American culture of the time with the same anthropological eye that he does Oglala (sioux) and other Indian culture of the time, with lots of commentary, but no judgment, on either. He reserves his judgment for the military and political decisions by the men he profiles in the book (not just Crazy Horse and Custer) and he can be downright brutal (and right on!) in such. He really tries to answer the question "What was he thinking?!" about so many men of that time, and his analysis is fascinating. And his capture of the political scene of the late 1800s in the USA -- really, has anything changed? My understand and respect for Crazy Horse is now vast. The scary thing is that American foreign policy now seems to be a lot like the Indian policy of the late 1800s..."
"Great read on Crazy Horse and Custer. Very well written. I wish that the book would have gone into more detail about the Battle of Greasy Grass and the remainder of Crazy Horses life."
