Bury my heart at Wounded Knee, by Dee Brown. Accounts of the fate of Indian tribes when faced with the insatiable greed of the white man. Broken treaties, massacres, and eventually, when all the lands and buffalo herds were gone, the forced relocation to reservations, the final humiliation of the free natives. Absolutely heartbreaking...
Right now I'm about halfway through The Silmarillion. Once again, a story about a beautiful land and its peoples who are gradually ruined by war, treachery and greed.
