"It's impossible to stop reading [Mean's] gripping autobiography . . . Few readers will leave the book without feeling profoundly altered by the authenticity of Mean's story. It's American history--warts, wounds, and all." --San Francisco Chronicle Book Review "Mean's tale gives one a visceral understanding of today's Indians, their ancestors, and the many betrayals they have suffered." --Chicago Tribune "Not since war chiefs such as Geronimo or Crazy Horse has an Indian leader so polarized the American public as Russell Means." --Dallas Morning News "One of the biggest, baddest, meanest, angriest, most famous American Indian activists of the late twentieth century." --The Washington Post
