Summary: A SUPREME WRITING
Review: Being an author of my own book, "Under the Rose: Poetry of Tragedy, Essence, and Romance," I can tell you in an unreserved fashion that this book is ONE OF THE GREATEST BOOKS I EVER READ!I read this book 20 years ago and it opened my eyes and shone light upon me. It moved me so much that I had to write a poem called "Early American Strife," which is in my book, UtR. I read Wounded Knee 3 times since then. If you love to read tragedy, suspense, and adventure in a novel of fiction, then this book of nonfiction is for you. I do not know the author of Wounded Knee, and I'm not shootin' from the hip; I speak the truth about this book.

Summary: Still taking it off the shelf 27 years later.
Review: I first opened this book when I was five years old. I would look at the photos over and over and try to remember the names of each native american. Once I learned to read I couldn't put it down. I have probably read the entire book ten times and certain chapters twenty to thirty times. I still have my father's original copy and all the pages are loose. Without a doubt this book will leave a lump in your throat.

Review: This book lacked any kind of compelling literature required to spark the interest of any person who reads from the "young adult" catagory. It is boring. It tries to spark deep emotion with short descriptions that seem brutal and horrific. And yes they are if you are searching for facts, but if you wish to read a book that keeps you interested WHILE at the same time states facts, I suggest you look somewhere else.

Summary: READ THIS BOOK!!!
Review: I realize now, after just finishing this book, how absolutely ignorant I was before it. It was painful to read, and it took me a while, but the information contained in it is something every American needs to know. This should be required reading in our schools.

Summary: Not The History Taught in School
Review: I have read some other books on the American Indians, but I must say that this is the most complete volume of their destruction that I have read. Not only does it give you a destruction time line, but also it does it in a very well written and gripping fashion. The author writes as best he can from the Indians viewpoint and I think this helps the reader get a better grasp of the pain the Indians went through. I knew it was a wonderfully written book by the fact that the pages just kept flowing, I never found myself slowed down or bored. It is just page after page of the US government taking advantage and overrunning the American Indians. The one constant it highlights is that the group with the most power can justify any crime, no matter how egregious in their name. In the book the authors detail how a common phase came about in America, "The only good Indian is a dead Indian". I have heard that statement before but it did not mean much to me. Now after reading about the constant pressure the Americans put on the Indians and the disgusting about of violence, it has far more meaning. When you read a book like this you just keep asking yourself how can people commit these crimes against women and children? The author has also dug up a number of photos of the Indians he details which makes it even more power to see the people that were so aggressively destroyed. A wonderful book that every American should read to make sure we know the real history of the country.

Summary: The real deal..forget the bad reviews
Review: The victor writes the history, and in the process romantices it and distorts it. This book gives us real history unencumbered by political correctness. Thankyou Mr. Brown. This book is hard to read at times, but the knowledge you gain is well worth the heartbreak. In response to the review from Denver, if this book offends your dim sensibilities, try reading In The Spirit Of Crazy Horse by Matthiessen. Next time try to proofread your review for typos and grammar.

Summary: Seminal
Review: We hear about both sides of colonial history so often these days that a book like "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" can seem a little trite, even biased towards the Indian side of the story. In fact this book is 30 years old and is the book that _produced_ this shift in perspective--before its publication the Indian side of the story was never part of the mainstream culture in the first place. Still an important work on early American history, "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" is also seminal in its own right. Read it by all means; if you're already familiar with American Indian history, you'll have the proper context to put it in, and if you're not, you need the wake-up call.

Summary: Dee Brown ist wrong. White man are no monsters.
Review: Especially today (war against the Iraq and all other evel countries) it is more than important to understand, that Dee Brown is just wrong. Because: He hates the land of the free, he hates our country and history. And he surely hates the glorious american army. To be safe it has been just neccessary to kill the criminal indians. What else? I am sure that Dee Brown is a communist. Everything in the book is arranged (well arranged, good work!) to let us think our country made a general mistake with the indians. DEE BROWN CREATES PURE PROPAGANDA! Don't forget: The worthiest thing at all is the right to live safe. And everything should be done for this aim. And all this is donne especially today by our heroic american army. Dee Browns book is designed to let us feel less pride. Do not believe him!
Rating:
Summary: Don't pass this book up.
Review: This is one of the most amazing books I've ever read on Native American history. It is also a heartbreaking, stomach-turning account of the white man's arrogance, perfidy and blatant cruelty. Mr. Brown tells the whole truth in vivid language, sparing nothing, which is as it should be. This was not an easy book to read, but rather a very painful and poignant one. It deserves your full attention.
