The Last Stand by Nathaniel Philbrick Book Summary

"An engrossing and tautly written account of a critical chapter in American history." --Los Angeles Times

Nathaniel Philbrick, author of In the Hurricane's Eye, Pulitzer Prize finalist Mayflower, and Valiant Ambition, is a historian with a unique ability to bring history to life. The Last Stand is Philbrick's monumental reappraisal of the epochal clash at the Little Bighorn in 1876 that gave birth to the legend of Custer's Last Stand. Bringing a wealth of new information to his subject, as well as his characteristic literary flair, Philbrick details the collision between two American icons- George Armstrong Custer and Sitting Bull-that both parties wished to avoid, and brilliantly explains how the battle that ensued has been shaped and reshaped by national myth.

A great read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I could not put it down. So much detail around the characters which fills in all the gaps of the simple story we were taught in school. It was my first via IBooks. I never thought I'd enjoy the e-book experience as much as I did. We'll done Apple.

Amazing. A must read

Good book, disappointing iBook edition. The book is highly reviewed and seemed to be a natural for iBooks... My disappointment first happened when trying to read labels inside the maps which are just too small and can't be enlarged... Reading the map descriptors is necessary for following the text, but viewable only with strain and effort... why so? At least in the Kindle app for iPad images can be enlarged, but not so in iBooks. I second other comments about the absence of photos... why are not we entitled to the full content of the published edition? Not recommend until fixed...

Fantastic. Well done!

The Last Stand. It's a shame and disappointment that photos are not included in the electronic version of this well written and documented history. Philbrick's analysis and interpretation of the events leading to battle and aftermath provide an insightful description of the clash of cultures and human frailties and strengths. It's an engrossing read.

Not the same as printed version. While I'm sure this is an excellent read, this version of the book doesn't contain any of the photos that are in the print version. Don't buy it here if you expect the complete book.

Love the book.. I love the book, but how hard is it to include the photos from the book with the digitized version? I have many other books that have the photos also. Bummer on this one. At least give a link to a website or something. The maps are there. Why not the photos? 5 Stars if it had them.

Outstanding Work!!. This book is well researched, with a massive amount of citations using primary source material. Excellent narrative of the closing of the American Frontier, utilizing two of history's least understood lightning rods.

The Last Stand. Probably the best book about the battle of the Little Big Horn on June 25, 1876. this book is well researched and is not burdened with a lot of revisionist history political correctness that has colored many other books about this subject. A great read.

The Last Stand is detailed, well-researched, & interesting. The detail afforded in this book is quite impressive. It might be a bit graphic for some, but that's the way events really happened. I hated hearing about the wholesale slaughter of innocent horses and mules even more than the slaughter of the combatants. They, after all, knew what they were trying to accomplish. This is a disgusting portrayal of the treatment the whites forced on the Native Americans and we can only hope a few, vital lessons were learned that we can apply to places like Rwanda and other sites of wholesale slaughter. May the spirits forgive us.

.. This book is the third I have read on the subject. Best account of the battle yet!

The Last Stand. This is a fabulous read! Normally, this period of history and particularly this event would not be of any interest to me but the the author does a great job of building the characters while also making a known topic suspenseful. I couldn't put it down. Now, I want to see the site firsthand.

Horrible. Why the author thinks anyone would care about his point of view on the current wars is beyond me. I paid money to learn about events that occurred over 100 years ago, not today's events.

No photos poor maps good book. Great book. Research was excellent. One of the best books I've read on the Little Big Horn. Where were the photos, and the maps were nearly impossible to read. Had to use a magnifying glass. Otherwise five stars.
