    <body><![CDATA[This book is a great dual-biography of two men whose fates were intertwined.  Ambrose draws amazing parallels between the two men.  In many ways, they were quite similar.  He does a great job in detailing the events that led up to the battle at Little Bighorn.  A must read for those interested in Am...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24266360">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Ambrose at his typical best. Follows the converging life stories of these larger-than-life characters to their climactic meeting and, in the case of one, beyond. This book reveals some of the less attractive aspects of our country's western expansion - its dealings with the native people in the west...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20269568">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A very curious dual biography, revealing that Crazy Horse and Custer had more in common than we might think.  Well researched and smoothly written, with a lot of details about day-to-day life in both Indian camp and army camp, reveals a lot about these two prominent Americans.]]></body>
