Chronicles the campaign by Cheyenne, Arapaho and Sioux Indians to prevent the spread of the railroad in 1868

Largement fondé sur des documents inédits - archives militaires et gouvernementales, procès-verbaux des traités, récits de première main ce livre exceptionnel retrace, de 1860 à 1890, les étapes qui ont déterminé " La Conquête de l''Ouest ". De la Longue Marche des Navajos au massacre de Wounded Knee, il se fait ici la chronique de la dépossession des Indiens de leurs terres, de leur liberté, au nom de l''expansion américaine. Si l''Histoire a souvent été écrite du point de vue des vainqueurs, Dee Brown donne la parole aux vaincus, de Cochise à Crazy Horse, de Sitting Bull à Geronimo, et compose un chant tragique et inoubliable. Publié pour la première fois en 1970 aux Etats-Unis, traduit dans le monde entier où il s''est vendu à plus de six millions d''exemplaires, " Enterre mon coeur à Wounded Knee " est devenu un classique. La présente édition, totalement remaniée, a fait l''objet d''une nouvelle traduction.
