Glory Hunter shows Custer as fearless idol and flawed commander
A new portrait by Frederic F. Van De Water argues George Armstrong Custer, the "Boy General," was a brilliant but deeply flawed cavalry leader. It traces his early zeal for war, rapid rise, controversial actions from the Washita and Black Hills to the Little Big Horn, and the toll on his family and followers.
