Michael Elliott, Professor of English and American Studies, talks about his book "Custerology: The Enduring Legacy of the Indian Wars and George Armstrong Custer" (University of Chicago Press, 2007, 344 pages). Author Larry McMurtry described the book as "vivid, trenchant, engrossing, and important. The American soldier George Armstrong Custer has been the subject of very nearly incessant debate for almost a century and a half, and the debate is multicultural, multinational, and multimedia. Mr. Elliott's book provides by far the best overview, and no one interested in the long-haired soldier whom the Indians called Son of the Morning Star can afford to miss it."
