Terrific book on the end of the cold war, the triumph of improvisation. James also works for the state department, the historical office. And hes actually a leader of a team working on ukrainianrussian crisis. So he did not feel comfortable leaving that to come up.

With that, let me thank our panelists who are wond...

Said, quote, the whites retreated into the niggers. Others were called having to, quote, fix bayonets to stop them.

Will attack a massive camp located about a mile and a half to two miles to the south of us down in the river valley bottom. Theres 8,000 people in that village. 1,500 to 2,000 of them are warriors. Custer will have 647 troops. Its the only battlefield in the country, only one of two in the whole world, where white markers indicate where soldiers were killed on the battlefield and buried where they fell. Red markers, like the one at the mouth of deep ravine, just to the left of this gentleman, 17...
