I'm reading my 5th Wilbur Smith novel, "Monsoon," - just started it this week. A wonderful exciting read! He's so much more interesting than some writers of his caliber. As this is fiction...I am also reading another book based upon reality. That book is called "Black Elk Speaks" by John G. Neihardt. It is the life story of a Holy Man from the Oglala Sioux Indian Tribe and it's based upon 6 generations of tribal tales and teachings including information told to the author by Black Elk. It encompasses the various tribes reactions and spiritual significance after the tragedy at Wounded Knee.
