Seward Award for Excellence in Civil War BiographyFINALIST 2015 - Guggenheim-Lehrman Prize in Military HistoryBookPage Best Books of 2015St. Louis Post-Dispatch Best of 2015“If anyone could make a reader forget Custer’s last stand, at least for a few hundred pages at a time, it would be T.J. Stiles. . . . Stiles is a serious and accomplished biographer, but he is more than that. He is a skilled writer, with the rare ability to take years of far-ranging research and boil it down until he has a story that is illuminating and, at its best, captivating.” -The New York Times Book Review“Epic, ambitious. . . . [Stiles] scrupulously avoids caricature. . . . Stiles’s accomplishment is to show that, within the context of Custer’s life, the Battle of Little Bighorn really was an epilogue.” -The Wall Street Journal“If you want to understand how Custers character became his fate, then Stiless book is the one to read before any other.” -Thomas Powers, The New York Review of Books“[This] sympathetic biography attempts to demythologize and reassess a complicated figure. . . . Stiles captures his subject with verve.” -The New Yorker“In this deft portrait, Stiles restores Custer as a three-dimensional figure. . . . [Stiles’s] prodigious knowledge of 19th-century institutions is on display throughout Custer’s Trials. He is able to situate Custer in the shifting culture of the Civil War and its aftermath in a way no other biography has achieved. . . . Stiles’s Custer is life-size.” -The Washington Post“This energetic biography puts emphasis on the years in between Custer’s Civil War heroics and his infamous Last Stand. Stiles is neither sympathetic nor unsympathetic in his treatment of Custer’s profound need for attention.” -The St. Louis Post-Dispatch“Riveting. . . . [Stiles] has given us a different way to look at the flesh-and-blood man and his times.” -Minneapolis Star-TribuneCusters Trials is exemplary in every way, replete with instances of detailed scholarship and compelling analysis, dense with psychological insight, and written in a tight, adroit style. -The Wichita Eagle Custer was the product of an America which changed more dramatically during his brief life than at any time in its history, except for the present sorry epoch, and Stiles, who can write, and also research, recounts how those times shaped him and, in the process, demolishes some of the Custer despisers’ (there are many, and I am one) most cherished myths. . . . Terrific. -Field & StreamStiles portrays a complex and deeply flawed man. . . . Stiles biography is a long, detailed, well-researched but highly readable account. -The Denver Post “Engaging… A teeming portrait of the birth of modern America-and a gripping account of Custers role in it.” -San Jose Mercury News “A nuanced, complex and convincing portrait of the man.” -San Francisco Chronicle “Rousing. . . . An immersive, emphatic, bloody and very assured book.” -Newsday“A good and meaty biography.” -Christian Science Monitor“T.J. Stiles portrays Custer in the context of his time, and the man who emerges is much more than merely a martyr or a fool. . . . [Stiles] goes furthest in exploring [Custer’s] contribution to Union victory during the Civil War and the difficulties he faced adjusting to the world that he helped to create.” -The Daily Beast[Stiless] biography is thorough, engrossing and fair. Custer is seen as a man wearing many faces, some good, some not. The author has done a commendable job drawing out from other sources to write a balanced account of a misunderstood historical figure. A read. -San Francisco Book Review “Spectacular . . . a satisfying portrait of a complex, controversial military man… C
