Ed,

The reason I question that is because I did a cursory search on the net for
Custer and found sites that lead me to believe the reviewer "lifted" some of
the inaccuracies over the web.  I simply dismissed the review as North
Korean PSYOP.  Without reading the book, I wouldn't be able to comment.
