Death on the Hellships

"Gregory Michno’s riveting chronicle of life and death for American and Allied POWS aboard Japanese ships during World War II offers an extraordinary look into a neglected chapter in the prisoner-of-war experience in the Pacific. He has mastery over both his sources and subject and produces an exhaustive history as well as a gripping tale.” —Stuart I. Rochester, author of Honor Bound: American Prisoners of War in Southeast Asia, 1961-1973 “A carefully researched and poignantly told tale of thousands of Americans who died at sea at the hands of their own countrymen. The fact that their numbers were greater than the number of deaths in the bloodiest of all Pacific was battles, Okinawa, is shocking. . . . Simultaneously judicious, sympathetic, and compelling in his presentation, Michno has produced a must read book for anyone interested in Pacific war history.” —Roger R. Dingman, author of Ghost of War: The Sinking of the Awa Maru and Japanese-American Relations, 1945-1995"

Circle the Wagons!

“fascinating”—Western Clippings; “Gregory F. Michno, and co-author Susan J. Michno, are on a mission. They are out to set the record straight on the ‘did they or didn’t they?’ question regarding Indian attacks on pioneer wagon trains. Circle the Wagons! does an admirable job of reporting the facts and setting the record straight. The Michnos’ modern myth-busting proceeds through 35 chapters, each recounting--often in gruesome, stomach-churning detail--one or more documented attacks on pioneer wagon trains and the attacks’ chilling aftermaths”—Arm Chair General.

Lakota Noon: The Indian Narrative of Custer's Defeat

"With careful attention to his book's subtitle, Michno presents the most important surviving testimony of Cheyenne and Lakota Sioux participants in the 1876 Little Bighorn battle. He follows the virtual minute-by-minute approach successfully used in John S. Gray's Centennial Campaign (CH, May'77) to describe events in meticulous detail. Michno's intimate knowledge of the battlefield, as well as his close reading of white accounts and recent archaeological investigations, helps bring the conflict into sharper focus. He also discusses many of the long-standing controversies about the number of warriors in the encampment, the weaponry arrayed on both sides, the movements of various companies and even individual soldiers, the exploits of specific Indian warriors, and the probable casualties. For this reason, the frequent content footnotes must be read in their entirety because they deal historiographically with the points of dispute and conflicting testimony. A final chapter traces the lives of some of the most prominent Indian participants during the decades after the battle. Although intended for the specialist who is well grounded in the literature, this book can be enjoyed by anyone interested in the story of Plains Indian warfare or 19th-century military history."--M. L. Tate, University of Nebraska at Omaha
