The time Patrick Radden Keefe spends with each client shows his dedication to his craft. This book humanized people and events often sensationalized beyond individuality by press coverage. This is a really interesting and engaging read, with chapters long enough for readers to be invested in the stories being told. Each story is self contained, allowing for this book to be read at whatever pace you'd like to read it.

When I got to the last chapter, I was waiting to understand what crime Anthony Bourdain had committed or had been a part of uncovering, beyond drug use, before I realized that in the subtitle also notes rebels.
