Five StarsBy Michael DiGiampaoloEnlightening Information on the History of the Apache Wars; Tribes; People involved.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. An Exhaustive Account of the Apache CampaignsBy Fred J. MaurenHutton provides a well written and researched; if somewhat academic account of the Apache conflicts with the U.S. and Mexican governments.The book opens with background on the various Apache bands and then chronicles the 50 years of conflict. A frustrating series of broken promises by the USG led to a series of bitter; vicious campaigns.I had some previous basic knowledge of Cochise and Geronimo which was vastly enhanced reading this book. The accounts of scout Mickey Free; captured as a boy; raised by Apaches then serving with the Army and Lozen; a female warrior/mystic were fascinating.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Apache historyBy Allen R. WammackA good read and historical biography of the Arizona Apaches. Many characters include names that have surfaced in movies that mis-represented them. This book gives a more accurate account of their true fate. The depredations committed by both Indian and White Men can never be justified but at least understood as to how and why both sides got to where they are today. War is hell...but it is a man made hell!
