While a stunning victory for the Sioux and Cheyenne peoples, it initiated a new and vigorous effort by the U.S. government to rid the west of marauding tribes and to realize the ideal of \"Manifest Destiny.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e While thousands of books and articles have covered different aspects of the battle, few if any have analyzed the tactics and chronology to arrive at a satisfactory explanation of what befell George Armstrong Custer and the 209 men who died alongside him. This volume seeks to explain the circumstances culminating in the near-destruction of the 7th Cavalry Regiment by a close examination of timing, setting every event to a specific moment based on accounts of the battle's participants.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47574721364119,"sku":"9780786479542","price":4175.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780786479542.webp?v=1774896187","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-strategy-of-defeat-at-the-little-big-horn-a-military-and-timing-analysis-of-the-battle-9780786479542","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
