This well-researched graphic novel is based on true events that took place during the Apache Wars. Cochise and Geronimo are featured as they fight to preserve their way of life and to avenge their murdered people. Violence begets violence and atrocity begets atrocity as the war moves toward its inevitable conclusion. Ruth's artwork is striking, bordering on haunting. It is beautiful and brutal in equal measures. The book is one of the few places the story of this war is told from the Apache perspective. The images and the story will stay with readers long after the book is closed.
