And the Earth Will Weep: How America Was Taken from the Indians

The new book by Peter Cozzens, author of bestsellers about the American Civil War, unfolds a vast panorama of the Indian Wars on the Great Plains and in the Rocky Mountains – a series of the longest and most fierce battles in American history. As a result of fierce and bloody clashes, the country's indigenous people were stripped of their lands. Relying on testimonies from participants and archival documents, Cozzens creates vivid portraits of representatives from both sides of the conflict, neither idealizing nor vilifying anyone. This stunning documentary saga allows a glimpse into the tragic history of the Indians from both perspectives – through the eyes of participants in the fierce battle for the vast spaces of North America.

Supplemented with numerous battle maps and rare photographic portraits of famous participants in the Indian Wars.

For those interested in the lesser-known pages of world history.
