one of the best non-fiction books I have read

Very well written, gripping, and entertaining despite the gravity of the subject matter. Well worth reading.
Compelling story of racial tension in Navajo Indian country.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Set in Farmington, New Mexico during the early 1970's, this book tells the story of a brutal triple homicide committed by three white teenagers against local Navajo Indians. Almost as cruel as the crimes themselves, was the fact that the boys received extremely light sentences. This book sets forth the moral dillema of this tense period of Southwest history in light of the cultural differences which existed between the Navajo way and the non-Indian world. The book is fast-paced and hard to put down. Perhaps most interestingly, the book tells a true story. If you enjoyed the movie, Incident at Oglala, you will love this book
