From the Back Cover:
Wounded Knee has excited contradictory accounts and heated emotions. To answer whether it was a battle or massacre, Rex Alan Smith goes further into the historical records and cultural traditions of the combatants than anyone has gone before. His work results in what Alvin Josephy, Jr., editor of 'American Heritage, ' calls 'the most definitive and unbiased' account of all.
