Book review - "Custer" by Larry McMurtry (2012)

I once read a lot of McMurtry then got out of the habit - I think when I read less fiction - so it was good to revisit this "short life" of the famous idiotic general. It's got a shaggy dog style and feels like a chat; I didn't discover anything new but it was entertaining. Some irritating errors - like Jeff Chandler never played Buffalo Bill that was Joel McCrea, and Kitchener's revenge against the Mahdi was over a decade after Khartoum. But enjoyable.
