Product Description
Product Description
In his latest title for Ian Allan Publishing, military historian Robert Kershaw turns his attention to this classic encounter between United States army and native Americans. Analysing the causes of Custer's defeat from the standpoint of a professional soldier, he examines the multitude of factors that lay behind this set-back to the US Army's campaign against the native Americans. Bringing a forensic examination to the subject, this revisionist view of the battle will be required reading for all those with an interest in the military history of the USA and of the career of that iconic figure, Custer, in particular. Drawing evidence from a wide range of sources, including contemporary reports of the battle and personal analysis of the battlefield allied to the most recent archaeological investigations, Kershaw explores the background to the battle and its results; his analysis debunks many of the myths about Custer's supposed military prowess and the invincibility of the US Cavalry.
