‘Killing Crazy Horse’ The Merciless Indian Wars in America is  Bill O’Reilly’s Newest History Book in the #1 Best-Selling Series Tells the Story of the Bloody War Between Native Americans and the U.S. Army 

Generations of Americans grew up watching TV programs and John Wayne movies about the American West where the narrative slanted only to the side of the Union Army or the settlers. In his newest history, KILLING CRAZY HORSE: The Merciless Indian Wars in America (Henry Holt & Co.; Sept. 8, 2020; $30; 320 pages, with illustrations), Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard tell both sides of this painful chapter in U.S. history that helped forge a nation’s expansion, but at the ultimate cost for Native Americans.
