Unquiet Grave The FBI and the Struggle for the Soul of Indian Country

In 1976 the body of Anna Mae Aquash, an American Indian activist, was found frozen in the Badlands of South Dakota -- or so the FBI said. After a suspicious autopsy and a rushed burial, friends had Aquash exhumed and found a bullet lodged in her skull. Using this scandal as a point of departure, "The Unquiet Grave opens a tunnel into the dark side of the FBI and its secret war against American Indians. But the book is no mere anti-FBI tract. This book also digs up skeletons in the garden of the American Indian Movement, the FBI's main nemesis. What unfolds is a sinuous tale of murder, conspiracy, and cover-ups that stretches from the plains of Wyoming to the polished corridors of Washington, D.C. First-time author Stephen Hendricks sued the FBI over several years to pry out thousands of never-before-released documents about the events. He also won a grant for his extensive interviewing and archival research from the prestigious Fund for Investigative Journalism. One of those rare reporters whose investigative tenacity is accompanied by grace with the written word, Hendricks's "The Unquiet Grave" is a gripping and long-overdue reexamination of the FBI's decades-long undeclared war against American Indians.Hendricks, Steve is the author of 'Unquiet Grave The FBI and the Struggle for the Soul of Indian Country' with ISBN 9781560257356 and ISBN 1560257350.
