The catastrophe which befell General George Armstrong Custer and his troops at the Battle of the Little Big Horn is a familiar part of American history. Yet after more than one hundred years and intensive investigation, by both professional and amateur historians, some fundamental questions remain unanswered. What motivated Custer to take decisive actions at one time and fail to do so at another. How important to his fate were his relationships with his superiors and subordinates during the campaign against the Plain Indians.
