Under Fire

An interesting story about the frontier in the 1870s and how the Army lived during the Indian Wars just after Custer's death. The author, a veteran of the wars himself, gave an interesting perspective on the wars of the time; he posits that the government and military were both too lenient and too hard (punishing the innocent and letting the guilty go free) rather than dealing fairly across the board...letting government red tape and capricious military commanders dictate rather than putting the matters in the hand of ambassadors who knew the culture and could deal by punishing only the guilty. Fascinating and sad at the same time.
