Title: Apologists
Review: "There are no good guys or bad guys" is true over the course of HISTORY. It is not true of every EVENT in history. Germans are not bad guys, but Adolf Hitler was a bad guy. White Americans are not bad guys, but Colonel Chivington was a bad guy. Anyone who would defend this massacre and deny the THOUSANDS of reports from Indians AND white people describing the atrocities that happened there is no different than the people who defend and deny the Holocaust. This is a valuable book if you are a white supremacist or you like to hide your head in the sand. Otherwise there are hundreds of good books about the frontier wars that accurately describe both the good and bad behavior of Indian, white, and black people in early America, and are interesting to read, too.
Is the review positive or negative?
