This review is from: An Uncommon Enemy, a novel of the Washita (Eden Murdoch Novels of the Victorian West) (Kindle Edition)

Great read! This book really pulls you in, couldn't put it down! The story line captured my imagination, and I learned quite a bit of history along the way. I have suggested this book to several of my friends and gotten good feedback from them as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars A piercing look at a woman's courage, November 2, 2001

This review is from: An Uncommon Enemy (Hardcover)

Michelle Black has written a fine novel about a woman caught between two worlds, Indian and white. The heroine refuses to compromise her humanity, her charity, or her love, and as a result finds herself in trouble with the cavalry, and especially General Custer. This is a marvelous depiction of military ambition so ruthless that it overrides all decency, and a good woman's response to it. I found myself caught up in a drama that throws light upon the Indian Wars, and the politics surrounding them. Michelle Black will win a wide readership.

5.0 out of 5 stars A penetrating look at the Indian wars, November 1, 2001

This review is from: An Uncommon Enemy (Hardcover)

Michelle Black has penned an absorbing and rich novel of the Indian wars, focusing especially on General Custer's obsessive quest for glory, which soon trumps truth and decency. The heroine of this story is a woman of innate decency, who refuses to compromise herself, her ideals, or her fate, no matter what pressures are applied to her. This is an outstanding and deeply moving novel about courage, honesty, and a woman's charity toward others.
