Still on the fence on this one. Certainly not for the casual reader. It’s very well written and he submits some interesting new angles at the Lakota ascendency. But I also found his use of sources lacking at times and identified a few errors that, while not detracting from the overall story, did irk me a bit. But am enjoying the book anyway, since I love reading about Lakota history.
I am still only halfway through (1850s now) so will leave my final verdict until I finished it!

This one in my 'to be read' pile, but I've read his book on the Comanches which is superb.

I've given in and bought it. Hope it's as least as good as Ostler's book!
