review 1: Pulitzer Prize winning Larry McMurtry is, in my opinion, the finest writer of western literature of recent decades. In addition to his standard fiction he often fictionalizes notable characters of the old west and in this effort changes pace again with researching and documenting the life of George Armstrong Custer as a refernce work. There have been many books on the subject, but since there was so much information available the author took the opportunity to tell the story of this maligned and disliked General as he sees it.
review 2: The UPS driver delivered my copy of Custer today, Nov 6,2012. What a major disappointment. I expected a nice big, juicy book on the scope of Lonesome Dove and others. What I got was a poorly written, badly printed and cheaply bo... moreund coffee table book that I would be ashamed to put on any coffee table of mine. I bought the book on the strength of McMurtry's name and a review in U.S.A. Today. Both let me down. less
