In the Spirit of Crazy Horse: The Story of Leonard Peltier and the FBI’s War on the American Indian Movement Audiobook

" This is what everyone needs to understand about the US - the truth of how natives were treated and still are. This is the same tale the world over whenever native are invaded and exploited. We need to wake up and fight for justice. "

" Now I know why so many people hated the FBI after Waco and Ruby Ridge. And the American public is blissfully ignorant of what happened at Pine Ridge and Wounded Knee in the 70's. "

" Very interesting book on the circumstances leading up to Native American,Leonard Peltier,'s imprisonment. "

" great book. fascinating topic. "

" I wanted to learn more about what has happened with the native americacn population in my lifetime, but the way this book is written I just can't get into this book. Don't think I'll finish. "

" If you don't have enough reasons to be pissed at the govt. AND you want a salcious and fascinating summer read, this is an amazing book of mostly untold history. Find out how the West was lost. "

" How much faith do you have in the American Government? "

" Can't add anything new to what has been said before me. It was a task reading this book but. . . I am super glad I got through it. It is frustratingly long and also frustrating in content (in a good way.) "

" In the Spirit of Crazy Horse thoroughly documents the account of the U.S. government's renewed assault on Native Americans. It is a testimony to a government of hypocrisy. "

" I will review soon...needs time :) "

" I read this a long time ago. This was an in depth look at events that occured at Pine Ridge reservation in 1975 that led to the wrongful conviction of Leonard Peltier, who still sits in prison today. Matthiessen is an amazing writer. "

" It's been years since I read it, but it's one of those books you remember. History that doesn't always get taught in the schools. "

" My notation next to this book on my list is "INCREDIBLE". Matthiessen does a fabulous job telling the story of Crazy Horse. Insightful look at the Native Americans. Very well-told tale. "

" I was not aware of the battles still being fought by the Native Americans as little as 30 years ago. Free Leanord Peltier! "

" This book changed my life. I was just graduating college and still questioning authority when I read it. Really left leaning, this book, but oh so wonderful and sad and a barn burner for human rights. Free Leonard Peltier!! "

" I love this book. I marked it down to three stars only beacause I hated the man who claimed he was the killer, but wouldn't come forward in an attempt to release Leonard Peltier. Terrible. "

" Superbly informative "

" Was very informative about the whole AIM movement and events I had never heard of on Pine Ridge "

" Nonfiction. Two words... Leonard Peltier. Two more words... Oglala Shoot-out. Two more words... FBI tampering. Enough said. "

" An extremely well researched and written account of what really happened on the Rosebud Reservation that led to Leonard Peltier's political imprisonment. This book should be required reading in American Government classes in every high school in America. "

" Accurate look at history. "

" A wonderfully written true story of Ameerican injustice. I haven't trusted the feds since I read it! "

" Amazing account of the U.S. government's suppression of the American Indian Movement in the 1970's, including the framing of Leonard Peltier. "

" It's very thoroughly researched, but I feel as though Matthiessen's biased, passionate voice often dominates an otherwise persuasive argument. "

" The story of Leonard Peltier and the FBI siege of Wounded Knee in 1975. Highly detailed, extremely engaging, but occasionally confusing due to poor editing and a narrative that tends to skip in time and character. "

" The story about wounded knee, the American Indian Movement, Leonard Peltier, as told by an amazing writer. "

" I think my reading this book, amongst others, is why the F.B.I. rejected me after I passed their entrance exam with flying colors. "

" Learned some history and confirmed some thoughts. It was interesting to hear about the ancestors and to know the rest of the story. I got this book for Christmas at Tim and Gogi's a few years back then passed it on. Good read. "

" Liked: lots of historical detail, attempts to give it a personal perspective of the participants. Disliked: much too partial for my taste, detail would seem less excessive if better organized "

" A documented account at the excruciating injustices brought upon Leonard Peltier and the Native American people during Nixon's and the FBI's war on AIM (the American Indian Movement), and the aftershock still affecting this country. "

" It is harder for me to sleep at night knowing this man is still behind bars. Free Leonard Peltier! "
