Böcker av Rex Alan Smith

This is the most extensive collection published to date of first-person oral histories on so many diverse aspects of the war in the Pacific - told in gripping, eyewitness accounts by more than seventy veterans from all branches of service.

The last significant clash of arms in the American Indian Wars took place on December 29, 1890, on the banks of Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota. When the smoke cleared, 84 men and 62 women and children lay dead. To answer whether it was a battle or a massacre, the author looks at the historical records and cultural traditions of the combatants.
