Major General George Crook’s Use Of Counterinsurgency Compound Warfare During The Great Sioux War Of 1876-77
This thesis will analyze Major General George Crook’s performance during the Sioux War of 1876-77 and attempt to answer whether or not Crook successfully fought the Native Americans by effectively implementing the concept of counterinsurgency compound warfare.
