Analyses the legal backdrop to the Great Sioux War, asking the hard questions of how treaties were to be honoured and how the US government failed to abide by its sovereign word. While other authors have analysed George Armstrong Custer's tactics and equipment, Wright is the first to investigate the legal and constitutional issues surrounding the US's campaign against the American Indians.
