NATIONAL BESTSELLER - From the author of Ghost Soldiers comes a magnificent.
But of all he has written, there’s something special about Blood and Thunder that has stuck with me for years and years, so I trust that you’ll glean lots of value from it, as well. Buy a cheap copy of Blood and Thunder: An Epic of the. I’ve read most of his books and much of his shorter-form writing for Outside magazine and the like-his subjects span a broad range but his writing is consistently top-notch. Hampton Sides is a world-class writer who has honed his gift for telling complex stories in easy-to-read, engaging prose. Was he really the Western superhero character that pop culture portrays him as? I’ll be interested to hear your thoughts on that. If you’re like me, you’ll be disgusted by the government’s treatment of Native Americans, and likely perplexed by Kit Carson’s role in the “taming of the West” and the seemingly hypocritical nature of some of his actions. This is also one of those books that introduces you to countless characters and concepts that will warrant further reading and study-it’s a gateway drug into deep Western history. Reading the book gave me a base level of knowledge about the West that has served me well both professionally and personally.
Blood and Thunder is in my top five favorite books of all time, and-no exaggeration-everyone I know who’s read it has loved it.
