Winner of the 2017 Caroline Bancroft History Prize

Shortlisted for the

Military History Magazine Book of the Year Award

NOMINATED FOR THE 2017 PEN HESSELL-TILTMAN 'Extraordinary… Cozzens has stripped the myth from these stories, but he is such a superb writer that what remains is exquisite'

The Times

In a sweeping narrative, Peter Cozzens tells the gripping story of the wars that destroyed native ways of life as the American nation continued its expansion onto tribal lands after the Civil War, setting off a conflict that would last nearly three decades.

By using original research and first-hand sources from both sides, Cozzens illuminates the encroachment experienced by the tribes and the tribal conflicts over whether to fight or make peace, and explores the squalid lives of soldiers posted to the frontier and the ethical quandaries faced by generals who often sympathized with their native enemies.

Bringing together a cast of fascinating characters, including Custer, Sherman, Grant and a host of other military and political figures, as well as great native leaders such as Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, Geronimo and Red Cloud,

The Earth is Weeping is the fullest account to date of how the West was won… and lost.
