Custer and the Little Big Horn: A Psychobiographical Inquiry Hardcover - 1981

by Charles K. Hofling


From the publisher

Few American battles have been the object of as much discussion and popular fascination as the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Yet after more than a century, a great number of questions remain unanswered. Many are destined to remain so. No white man survived to tell the tale, Indian accounts are inconsistent, and contemporary reports are distorted by political considerations.
Charles K. Hofling, however, provides fresh insight to the events of June 1876 by exploring them from a unique perspective. Concluding that discussions of military tactics and strategy are not sufficient in themselves to explain Little Big Horn, Hofling turns his attention to the psychological context in which Custer operated in order to understand the decisions which produced his final disaster. Examining Custer's personal and military life, Hofling isolates those episodes of psychological significance which suggest personality traits which would account for Custer's behavior before and during the battle.
