Mort, Terry

Recommended for Hemingway admirers, readers of World War II stories, journalism history, and literary biography.

This highly readable and insightful work is recommended as an essential backstory to Custer's subsequent downfall at the aforementioned battle.

Although Mort chronicles only the incident that sparked the conflict, he offers vivid insights into not only the subsequent wars with the Apaches, but also into how other conflicts in the West were exacerbated by the inexperience and arrogance of officers in the U.S. military. Recommended for all readers interested in the conquest of the American West.
