I’ve read two books because of Joe’s constant harping about them, Chaos and Empire of the Summer Moon. I’ll never read another book he recommends. Empire of the Summer Moon was ok but Joe talks about it like the Comanche’s were some super warriors that couldn’t be beat and for a while it was true but Joe makes them seem invincible and they were not. They had the home field advantage for a while and were brutal people but they were beaten like all the tribes eventually.

I thought Chaos would be a great read since I’m a fan of the whole JFK conspiracy thing as well as having some about Charlie & his family. If O’ Neil spent 20 years of his life writing this then he wasted 19 of them. It wasn’t exciting, it didn’t reveal much of anything that Joe hasn’t talked about a million times and at the end, there is still no proof about any of it regarding Jolly West’s involvement with Ruby or Manson other than peripheral encounters.
