Dark Journey by Alan W. Eckert
I'd like to nominate Dark journey by Alan W. Eckert. I think this is his latest book, published in 2009. I have read all his other stuff and it is stunning. The basic theme of his books is "How the Europeans came to possess America." Every character and every conversation in the book is supported by documentation. However, the books are written like a novel. I think Eckert is very fair in his presentation: he shows there were scoundrels on both sides of the conflict between the Europeans and the Native Americans. I have not read this one, but would love to.
