SIGNED. 628pp. Large octavo [24 cm] 1/4 brown cloth with apricot-orange paper over boards.

In a price-clipped dust jacket, with sunning to the spine (title still bold), general rubbing to the surface, and light edgewear. Very Good / Very Good. A recounting of the Lakota Indians' agonizing struggle with the United States, from Red Cloud's war and Little Big Horn to the shameful discrimination which resulted in the new Indian wars of the 1970s, including the 1973 occupation of Wounded Knee. Matthiessen's book also serves as a condemnation of the U.S. government’s prosecution and conviction of Leonard Peltier in the killing of two FBI agents at Pine Ridge in 1975. From the dust jacket-"Why did the U.S. government, and the F.B.I. in particular, 'target' and subvert the American Indian Movement in the first place? Why did it throw so much military firepower into the battle on Pine Ridge and so much prosecutorial zeal into its aftermath? Just how far is the FBI willing to go to get its man? And what is the connection between these events and the expansion of mining and nuclear-power operations onto Indian treaty lands?"This controversial and powerful book by Peter Matthiessen was kept off the shelves for eight years because of one of the most protracted and bitterly fought legal cases in publishing history. Signed by the author on the front pastedown, and additionally inscribed by Matthiessen, in the year of publication, on the front free endpaper. The inscription states: "For____- / with love / from her fellow Zen student / Peter / Santa Barbara / April - 1983."
