The Book the American Indian Movement Leadership Does Not Want You to Read

Denver, CO/Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) January 2, 2008 -- For the first time, the true history of the American Indian Movement (AIM) is told by an FBI Special Agent in Charge (SAC) who was there. And for the first time, author Joseph H. Trimbach exposes the dirty little secrets of the AIM leadership, unlike in any other history book. In fact, American Indian Mafia exposes the history books. It is time to set the record straight for the benefit of all Native Americans.

The 1970s legacy of the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota is haunted by the forgotten suffering of innocent victims and a falsified history found in almost every library in America. The perpetrators are often referred to as "brave warriors" and "selfless activists," while many of their Indian victims are consigned to anonymity.

In this provocative narrative, a former FBI Agent chronicles the true legacy of the American Indian Movement (AIM), a small group of radicals who tore a path of destruction through the Pine Ridge Reservation on their way to personal gain, fame, and fortune. Part personal odyssey, part history, American Indian Mafia tells the real story of AIM's armed assault on Wounded Knee village in 1973, where FBI Agents, BIA Agents, and U.S. Marshals demonstrated perpetual patience and restraint in the face of nightly gun attacks. Mafia explains how never-ending negotiations led to the village's complete destruction, and how secret murders behind the barriers and the failure to hold the AIM leadership accountable led to a reign of terror on the reservation. Mafia assigns much of the blame to federal judges who advanced a political agenda at the expense of true justice. AIM instigators, such as Russell Means, were thus handed carte blanche to terrorize Pine Ridge Indians for years to come.

AIM violence on the reservation culminated in the 1975 cold-blooded murder of Special Agents Jack Coler and Ron Williams, the only FBI Agents ever to have been executed in the line of duty. Mafia exposes AIM member and convicted killer Leonard Peltier as the clear perpetrator and as a false hero who has fooled millions into believing in his innocence. Authors, actors, politicians, world leaders, investigative journalists, members of the clergy, and several professors of Indian Studies have all bought in to the Peltier ruse. Citing numerous examples of doctored history, Mafia fingers disgraced Professor Ward Churchill as being particularly guilty of creating and promoting falsified accounts of Pine Ridge, AIM, and the FBI.

In another startling revelation, Mafia points to AIM leaders as likely suspects in the Wounded Knee murder of Ray Robinson, the only black male seen in the village during the occupation. Robinson, a civil rights activist under Martin Luther King, was shot in the leg during an argument and carted off to the makeshift infirmary. He was never heard from again. Mafia is the only book that faithfully explains why Robinson's death remains a closely guarded secret. Trimbach's account also exposes AIM leader Dennis Banks as a prime suspect in the ordered execution of Anna Mae Aquash, a loyal member falsely accused of being an FBI informant. The alleged trigger-man, John Graham, was recently extradited from Vancouver, Canada to Rapid City, South Dakota. No other book explains why the upcoming trial is so important and why Graham may implicate several co-conspirators in this premeditated murder.

Mafia is the long-awaited book that fills the void in an important chapter of American history. It is the first and only account that tells the true story of 1970s Pine Ridge from an observer's point of view. Judge William H. Webster, former Director of the FBI and the CIA, says Trimbach's hard-hitting exposé is "?an important contribution to our understanding of what actually happened." America's original Anti-Terrorism Coordinator, Lt Col Oliver North, describes author Trimbach as a "myth-buster" whose "carefully compiled chronology" should be read by all Americans who "seek truth behind the headlines."

Indian Country will find Trimbach's book a welcome addition to the historical record. Native publisher Paul DeMain (Oneida-Ojibwe), editor of News from Indian Country, says Mafia is a "must-read" for understanding those turbulent years. Award-winning Native journalist, Tim Giago (Oglala Lakota), declares that Trimbach not only challenges popular beliefs, he "takes apart Matthiessen's In the Spirit of Crazy Horse, movies like Thunderheart, Lakota Woman, and A Tattoo on My Heart - The Warriors of Wounded Knee 1973, and exposes them for the frauds that they are. It is refreshing to finally hear the other side of the story." With common sense and wit, Trimbach likewise explores the historical deficiencies of Ken Stern's Loud Hawk, John Sayer's Ghost Dancing the Law, the Wounded Knee Trials, and Steve Hendricks's The Unquiet Grave.

Professor Alan Dershowitz wrote that AIM's calamitous rule left "? thousands of poverty-stricken Indians, first driven by years of neglect to accept false prophets of violence and then shorn even of that ineffective leadership." Pine Ridge Indians have patiently waited for the truth to come out and for the healing to begin. With the addition of American Indian Mafia to the nation's libraries and universities, the true Pine Ridge saga will finally have a home. With over a thousand endnotes, dozens of photographs, two appendices, and never-before-published primary source material, Trimbach's book documents the sad history of a victimized people sorely in need of a spiritual and economic revival.

Mafia concludes with prescriptive solutions for fighting a host of social ills that continue to plague Pine Ridge. Trimbach devotes the Epilogue to exposing the horrendous problem of rampant child sex abuse on the reservation, and what must be done to fight this evil. American Indian Mafia promotes genuine Pine Ridge healing and will leave Indian Country readers with a new sense of hope and a vision for a brighter future for the Lakota Sioux Indians of South Dakota.
