Summer reading: ‘Empire of the Summer Moon’

The World

We continue our summer reading series with journalist S.C. Gwynne, who brings us his new book, “Empire of the Summer Moon,” about the final battles between Comanche Indians and white settlers. It’s the story of the last great chief of the tribe that was once the most powerful in the nation.
