ebooks Islam Means Peace: Understanding the Muslim Principle of Nonviolence Today by Amitabh Pal in History

Description

In June of 1876; on a desolate hill above a winding river called "the Little Bighorn;" George Armstrong Custer and all 210 men under his direct command were annihilated by almost 2;000 Sioux and Cheyenne. The news of this devastating loss caused a public uproar; and those in positions of power promptly began to point fingers in order to avoid responsibility. Custer; who was conveniently dead; took the brunt of the blame.The truth; however; was far more complex. A TERRIBLE GLORY is the first book to relate the entire story of this endlessly fascinating battle; and the first to call upon all the significant research and findings of the past twenty-five years--which have changed significantly how this controversial event is perceived. Furthermore; it is the first book to bring to light the details of the U.S. Army cover-up--and unravel one of the greatest mysteries in U.S. military history. Scrupulously researched; A TERRIBLE GLORY will stand as ta landmark work. Brimming with authentic detail and an unforgettable cast of characters--from Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse to Ulysses Grant and Custer himself--this is history with the sweep of a great novel.
