About the author

Bill Yenne is the author of several novels and over three dozen books on historical topics. He has also been a contributor to encyclopedias of both world wars.

The New Yorker wrote of Sitting Bull, his biography of the great Lakota leader, that it "excels as a study in leadership." This book was named to the number 14 spot among Amazon's 100 Best Books of the Year.

Library Journal observed that "enthusiastic World War II readers will be drawn to" his dual biography, Aces High: The Heroic Story of the Two Top Scoring American Aces of World War II.

Recently, his book Convair Deltas was named as Book of the Month by Air Classics, while his book Tommy Gun was named Pick of the Month by Shooting Illustrated.

His book Guinness: The 250 Year Quest for the Perfect Pint was listed among the top business books of the year by Cond Nast Portfolio Magazine, which rated Yenne's tome as its TOP pick for "Cocktail Conversation."

Yenne's Rising Sons: The Japanese American GIs Who Fought for the United States in World War II, was praised by Walter Boyne, former Director of the National Air & Space Museum, who called it "a fast moving... page turner," and the "best book yet written on the saga."

The Wall Street Journal wrote, when reviewing his Indian Wars: The Campaign for the American West, that Yenne writes with "cinematic vividness," and says of his work that it "has the rare quality of being both an excellent reference work and a pleasure to read."

Reviews

[Amanda Peterson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Found this through a book sale and while it was published in the 80s it still contains fascinating information about the tribes, a lot of which I was never taught growing up(wonder why😒). It was fascinating to read about tribes that brought in other groups as well as the tribes still around at publication like Blackfoot, Illinois, and Nez Perce for example. Also cool that the author is actually part of the Flathead and Blackfoot tribes, which leads greatly into cultural insight.

Information on the tribes situated in Canada was somewhat sparse. Information such as 'the introduction of schools by the Canadian government improved conditions' leaves lots of room for interpretation.
