{"product_id":"wounded-knee-party-politics-and-the-road-to-an-american-massacre","title":"Wounded Knee: Party Politics and the Road to an American Massacre","description":"On December 29, 1890, American troops opened fire with howitzers on hundreds of unarmed Lakota Sioux men, women, and children near Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota, killing nearly 300 Sioux. As acclaimed historian Heather Cox Richardson shows in Wounded Knee, the massacre grew out of a set of political forces all too familiar to us today: fierce partisanship, heated political rhetoric, and an irresponsible, profit-driven media.\nRichardson tells a dramatically new story about the Wounded Knee massacre, revealing that its origins lay not in the West but in the corridors of political power back East. Politicians in Washington, Democrat and Republican alike, sought to set the stage for mass murder by exploiting an age-old political tool—fear.\nAssiduously researched and beautifully written, Wounded Knee will be the definitive account of an epochal American tragedy.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0465009212\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0465009212.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Richardson, Heather Cox\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
