"I have yet to make a full accounting of my relationship with George Armstrong Custer and am prepared to do so now. But by arrangement with my solicitor, it shall remain sealed until every person currently living is long dead..."
Randall 'Sonny' Armstrong, U.S. Cavalry (ret'd), takes up his pen to tell his life's story. A companion of George Custer's since West Point, Sonny is Georgie's close confidant and the architect of his early victories. But as he grows older, Sonny finds his opportunities for advancement blocked time and again by Georgie, who comes to outrank him and insists on keeping Sonny firmly by his side. Through two bitter decades of war, the paths of the two men repeatedly part and converge in a tapestry of friendship, betrayal, loyalty, deceit and towering ambition until Sonny faces his final reckoning on the banks of the Little Big Horn. There he learns the truth: that George Custer is a force of nature that blows through people's lives like a storm. And, like most storms, he leaves nothing but damage in his wake.
