A Terrible Glory: Custer and the Little Bighorn - the Last Great Battle of the American West Audiobook

" Jim Donovan has, by my count, dedicated 5000 published pages of his life to Custer and his "last stand." Why do I keep coming back to books about Little Big Horn (I think this is my fourth)? I truly have no idea. Nevertheless, Donovan rehashes some of the ground he's covered before with some interesting evidence of the massacre. He spends far too much time discussing Army politics (large and small) but pulls off a terrific narrative timeline of that infamous (or famous) day. Recommend for buffs, but would point to other works if it's your first time reading the narrative. "
