Description
Geronimo and General George Crook were born to destroy each other. And they did--the perfect enemies, perfectly embodying the tragic strenghts and weaknesses of their respective cultures. No confrontation more powerfully captures the relentless, irreconcilable struggle between Native Americans and whites than the Apache Wars--the final and longest running of the North American Indian Wars. At the heart of that bitter and violent conflict lies the intriguing story of two of history's most brilliant strategists--united by their fierce loyalty to their peoples, yet divided by their warring bloods.
