life
from

war
(Publishers

for
his
ferocity
in
battle
and
uncanny
ability
to

fighter

accurate
and
vivid
narrative
unfolds
through
the
alternating
perspectives
of
whites
and
Apaches,
arriving
at
a
more
nuanced
understanding
of
Geronimo’s
character
and
motivation
than
ever
before.What
was
it
like
to
be
an
Apache
fighter-in-training?
Why
was
Geronimo
feared

alike?
Why
did
he
finally
surrender
after
remaining
free
for
so
long?
The
answers
to
these
and
many
other
questions
fill
the
pages
of
this
authoritative volume.
