Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I don't have an overview in mind, but I'll recommend a book that touches on it.

Comanche Moon by Jack Jaxon (not the Lonesome Dove sequel by the same name) is a graphic novel-ized history of white-Comanche relations, focusing on the life of a half-white Comanche chief (his mother was a white settler who'd been captured as a girl during a raid). Part of the story takes place during the Civil War era.
