2022: I mean, I loved this book, but I also HATED this book.

If you enjoyed (or well, not *enjoyed*, but you know what I mean!) [b:Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith|10847|Under the Banner of Heaven A Story of Violent Faith|Jon Krakauer|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1356441391l/10847._SY75_.jpg|1723947], you will definitely enjoy (see above) this book. There were several times where I wanted to vomit while listening to this book. Here's the deal: white people SUCK. We especially suck when there's a literal flip in our perceived social order–for example, when the Native Americans in the community are wealthier than the white people. And we did some terrible things to try and "righten" that perceived social order.

I ended up listening to this audiobook, but I'd recommend getting your hands on a copy of the book if you can. The pictures add such a visceral element to the story, and the maps make it easier to follow. It was easy to get lost in the drama of the mystery and the horrific events of the book, that I needed to constantly remind myself that this was an actual historical event.

Mark your calendars for November 2022 for the Scorsese / DiCaprio movie release!
