'This compact biography of George Armstrong Custer is deftly written and offers a well-reasoned and balanced interpretation of its subject. Schultz's research is an impressive blend of primary and secondary sources. Custer fills a gap between those minutely detailed biographies that glorify and sometimes mythologize the man, and those skim-the-surface studies that undervalue Custer's achievements to the Civil War and Indian fighting armies.' - Edward G. Longacre, author of Custer and His Wolverines 'Custer is a swiftly paced and compelling biography of the 'Boy General' of the Civil War and the cavalry officer who led his men at Little Big Horn. George Armstrong Custer was a fascinating American, a man of towering inconsistencies, who Schultz captures well in this finely-written book.' - Jeffry D. Wert, author of Custer: The Controversial Life of George Armstrong Custer 'Provides about as much information as the average reader needs to know about the flamboyant general.' - Kirkus 'Brief but incisive.' - American History Magazine
