On June 25, 1876, 611 men of the United States 7th Cavalry rode
towards the banks of the Little Bighorn where three thousand
Indians stood waiting for battle. The lives of two great war
leaders would soon become forever linked: Crazy Horse, leader of
the Oglala Sioux, and General George Armstrong Custer. This
masterly dual biography tells the epic story of the lives of these
two men: both were fighters of legendary daring, both became
honoured leaders in their societies when still astonishingly young,
and both died when close to the supreme political heights. Yet they
- like the nations they represented - were as different as day and
night. Custer had won his spurs in the American Civil War; his
watchword was 'To promotion - or death!' and his restless ambition
characterized a white nation in search of expansion and progress.
Crazy Horse fought for a nomadic way of life fast yielding before
the buffalo-hunters and the incursions of the white man. The Great
Plains of North America provided the stage - and the prize.
