*Crazy Horse: A Lakota Life*. By Kingsley M. Bray. (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2006. xviii + 510 pp. Illustrations, maps, notes, bibliography, index. $34.95.)
Kingsley Bray, an English medical-book dealer, offers a scholarly, deeply researched biography of Crazy Horse, who epitomized Indian resistance to whites. Outstanding among a spate of recent works about the renowned Oglala war chief, this might be the definitive work. Bray employs over twenty years of research, abetted by his many contacts with leading western historians in Europe and the United States.	1
