As acclaimed historian Heather Cox Richardson shows in \u003ci\u003eWounded Knee\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003cp\u003eRichardson 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Assiduously researched and beautifully written, \u003ci\u003eWounded Knee\u003c\/i\u003e will be the definitive account of an epochal American tragedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Wounded Knee: Party Politics and the Road to an American Massacre | Heather Cox Richardson | Hardcover | 9780465009213 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks D 1788003","offer_id":67796501823640,"sku":"1788003","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61vwFyMyuaL.jpg?v=1792793353","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/wounded-knee-party-politics-and-the-road-to-an-american-massacre","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
