Shifting from one distinct voice and viewpoint to the other, this intertwined biography achieves a novelistic sweep while taking full advantage of transcripts and negotiations, newspaper accounts, journals, and primary sources, as well as each man's autobiography. From the early days that shaped them to the battle that consumed them, and the politics that ultimately betrayed them both, their quests for victory and immortality offer great insight into some of the most important events in American history-and a unique perspective of the cultures from which they sprang.

Work Description

"Geronimo and General George Crook were born to destroy each other.".

"And they did - the perfect enemies, perfectly embodying the tragic strengths and weaknesses of their respective cultures. No confrontation more powerfully captures the relentless, irreconcilable struggle between Native Americans and whites than the Apache Wars - the final and longest running of the North American Indian wars.

At the heart of that bitter and violent conflict lies the intriguing story to two of history's most brilliant strategists - united by their fierce loyalty to their peoples, yet divided by their warring bloods." "Shifting from one distinct voice and viewpoint to the other, this intertwined biography achieves a novelistic sweep while taking full advantage of transcripts and negotiations, newspaper accounts, journals, and primary sources, as well as each man's autobiography."--BOOK JACKET.
