Meer over het boek

In 1876 Sioux and Cheyenne warriors annihilated Custer's Seventh Cavalry on the Little Bighorn. Three years later and half a world away, a British force was wiped out by Zulu warriors at Isandhlwana in South Africa. The similarities between the two frontier encounters have long been noted, but James O. Gump is the first to scrutinize them in a comparative context.
