Russell Means was the most controversial American Indian leader of our time. Where White Men Fear to Tread is the well-detailed, first-hand story of his life, in which he did everything possible to dramatize and justify the American Indian aim of self-determination, such as storming Mount Rushmore, seizing Plymouth Rock, running for President in 1988, and--most notoriously--leading a 71-day takeover of Wounded Knee, South Dakota, in 1973.

This visionary autobiography by one of our most magnetic personalities will fascinate, educate, and inspire. As Dee Brown has written, A reading of Means's story is essential for any clear understanding of American Indians during the last half of the twentieth century.

Reviews

"It's impossible to stop reading [Mean's] gripping autobiography . . . Few readers will leave the book without feeling profoundly altered by the authenticity of Mean's story. It's American history--warts, wounds, and all." --San Francisco Chronicle Book Review "Mean's tale gives one a visceral understanding of today's Indians, their ancestors, and the many betrayals they have suffered." --Chicago Tribune "Not since war chiefs such as Geronimo or Crazy Horse has an Indian leader so polarized the American public as Russell Means." --Dallas Morning News "One of the biggest, baddest, meanest, angriest, most famous American Indian activists of the late twentieth century." --The Washington Post
