About this listen

 The second novel in Joseph M. Marshall III's acclaimed Lakota Western series begins in 1875, as Sitting Bull gathers thousands of Lakota to face the growing problem of white incursion. What follows is a sweeping tale of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, including the days and weeks leading up to the conflict and the remarkable defeat of General George Armstrong Custer and the Seventh Cavalry.

Told for the first time from the Native perspective through the eyes of Lakota warrior Cloud, the story also weaves in the lesser-known but strategically important Battle of the Rosebud and the uncertain future that faced the Lakota following victory. Once again, Marshall infuses the story with his unique voice and eye for detail, creating a page-turning Western with a style of its own.

Critic reviews

"[Marshall] brings the story of the Battle of Little Bighorn alive through the eyes and hearts of the American Indians." ( Denver Post)
"I found myself brought into the Lakota world; Marshall does a superb job of showing how difficult things were becoming for the Lakota as their land was overtaken and the buffalo herds disappeared." ( Historical Novels Review)

I love listening to Joseph m Marshall 3rd. his voice is so soft and easy to listen to and his telling of the old ways makes me feel like I was there. the details of the history of these battles for freedom of the first nation people are so different from the so called historical narrative, but you know they're the real truth of events.

amazing detail

Breathtaking book, brings the already high feelings of shame and resentment of the white settlers to a new higher level

Unmissable.!!

This is not my first Marshall book and it certainly won’t be my last. Detailed, emotive, captivating and full of wisdom.

The other side of the history books

What disappointed you about The Long Knives Are Crying?

This had the potential of being a great book, but the characters are too one dimensional and the story too often loses focus and wanders all over the place. I was also disappointed in the audio narration which is below the standard I have come to expect with audio books.
