I purchased Blood of the Prophets because I wanted an impartial, detailed book on the Mountain Meadows massacre. I got that -- but I got TOO much of that.

It is a more "academic" book than Brooks'; I wouldn't dispense with either.

The book, _Blood of the Prophets_ was unfortunately written by a 'for hire' author with an a priori conclusion that, in Will Bagley's words, would "pin it on Brigham Young". When you pour your research into an anti-Mormon polemic, it tends to be wasted taint and that's what we've gotten here.
