Title: Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West
Review: I'll keep this simple and straightforward. Dee Brown's book should be required reading for every citizen of this nation. It's that good. I rank this book with Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States."I read Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee shortly after it was published, and its illusion shattering impact has stayed with me to this day. The section debunking the "hero" George Custer is more than worth the price of the book. Be forewarned, however, this well researched book is full of heartbreak, broken promises, betrayal, genocide, and sadness on an enormous scale, and it is powerfully written. It will affect you profoundly on a variety of levels. Read it, and weep, and know. It's the least you can do.
