In this thrilling narrative history of George Armstrong
Custer’s death at the Little Bighorn, award-winning
historian Thom Hatch puts to rest the questions and
conspiracies that have made Custer's last stand one of the
most misunderstood events in American history. While
numerous historians have investigated the battle, what
happened on those plains hundreds of miles from even a
whisper of civilization has been obscured by intrigue and
deception starting with the very first shots fired. Custer’s death and the defeat of the 7th Calvary by the
Sioux was a shock to a nation that had come to believe that
its westward expansion was a matter of destiny. While the
first reports defended Custer, many have come to judge him
by this single event, leveling claims of racism,
disobedience, and incompetence. These false claims unjustly
color Custer’s otherwise extraordinarily life and fall far
short of encompassing his service to his country. By reexamining the facts and putting Custer within the
context of his time and his career as a soldier, Hatch’s The
Last Days of George Armstrong Custer reveals the untold and
controversial truth of what really happened in the valley of
the Little Bighorn, making it the definitive history of
Custer’s last stand. This history of charging cavalry,
desperate defenses, and malicious intrigue finally sets the
record straight for one of history’s most dynamic and
misunderstood figures.
