Yet today his name is largely. As Paul Magid portrays Crook in this highly readable biography, the general was an innovative soldier, with a complex and often contradictory personality, whose activities often generated intense controversy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith graceful prose, thorough documentation, and a former lawyer's exactness, Paul Magid has the pulse of George Crook, the army officer Americans believe they know best as the shrewd and innovative campaigner who achieved extraordinary successes in Oregon and Arizona only to be trumped by the Sioux at the Rosebud in 1876.
