An unbiased view?,
By
This review is from: The Navajo-Hopi Land Dispute: An American Tragedy (Paperback)
This book is interesting -- but is most definitely not an unbiased, fair view of the Hopi - Navajo land dispute. But then Mr Brugge was employed, paid, by the Navajo. And it comes accross when he writes about the "players" involved.
Worth reading only if you are familiar with other sources on the Hopi & Navajo or already have taken sides, pro-Navajo.
