The Most Desperate Acts of Gallantry

I went into this audiobook expecting a dry, historian's take on the Battle of Little Bighorn, but what I got was so much more. Davis's writing is engaging and accessible, making even the most complex military tactics feel intuitive and easy to follow. Neufeld's narration is equally impressive, bringing a sense of pace and energy to the story that's hard to find in more traditional military histories. If I have one quibble, it's that the audiobook could benefit from a bit more context about the broader historical landscape. At times, it felt like we were jumping into the middle of a larger story without sufficient background information. But this is a minor complaint in what is otherwise a compelling and thought-provoking listen. Overall, I'd highly recommend The Most Desperate Acts of Gallantry to anyone interested in military history or the American West.
