The Last Stand:  Custer, Sitting Bull and the Battle of the Little Big Horn by Nathaniel Philbrick
   
Philbrick brilliantly sketches the two larger-than-life antagonists:  Sitting Bull, whose charisma and political savvy earned him the position of leader of the Plains Indians, and George Armstrong Custer, one of the Union's greatest officers and a man with a reputation for fearless and reckless courage.

Reviewer: Dr. Steven Harmon Wilson, Associate Dean of Liberal Arts at Tulsa Community College's Metro Campus.  Wilson received his M.A. and Ph.D. in History from Rice University, where he focused on American legal and constitutional history.
