Immediately recognized as a revelatory and enormously controversial
book since its first publication in 1971, "Bury My Heart at Wounded
Knee" is universally recognized as one of those rare books that
forever changes the way its subject is perceived. Now repackaged
with a new introduction from bestselling author Hampton Sides to
coincide with a major HBO dramatic film of the book, "Bury My Heart
at Wounded Knee.
""Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee "is Dee Brown's classic, eloquent,
meticulously documented account of the systematic destruction of
the American Indian during the second half of the nineteenth
century. A national bestseller in hardcover for more than a year
after its initial publication, it has sold over four million copies
in multiple editions and has been translated into seventeen
languages.
Using council records, autobiographies, and firsthand descriptions,
Brown allows great chiefs and warriors of the Dakota, Ute, Sioux,
Cheyenne, and other tribes to tell us in their own words of the
series of battles, massacres, and broken treaties that finally left
them and their people demoralized and decimated. A unique and
disturbing narrative told with force and clarity, "Bury My Heart at
Wounded Knee" changed forever our vision of how the West was won,
and lost. It tells a story that should not be forgotten, and so
must be retold from time to time.
