Custer’s Last Stand for America

An unlikely victory over Sitting Bull at Little Big Horn propels General George Armstrong Custer to the White House. Now he’s fixed on Spain’s decaying empire as his source for immortality. And when a group of Americans on board a ship headed for Cuba is massacred, war is brewing. Now the president is set to attack along the road to becoming the American Caesar—that is, unless calmer heads can prevail against the hurricane that is George Armstrong Custer.
