Review

"A distinguished, responsible, and, almost inevitably, exciting retelling of a sordid tale" (New Yorker)

"Roberts has fashioned a clear and engaging narrative of Apache survival... Well-researched, well-written... Compelling reading" (Paula Mitchell Marks Washington Post Book World)

"Roberts has achieved near perfect focus upon a people and their times... [A] brilliant, poignant history" (Jeff Long Chicago Tribune)

From the Publisher

'Robert dips into a century or so of myth and misinformation, and comes up with a lucid and plainspoken history of what was intended by both sides to be a war of extermination. ' Los Angeles Times.
