This author and his team researched this book for 10 years. This is one of the aspects I respect so much about this work. To glean a story and book from the mountain of paperwork / archives/ interviews and with missing pieces due to corruption is no small feat. And there was so much more we will never know.

Some complain it was boring and dry. Some say it read like a fiction a book. I think it really depends on how much you like non-fiction. While this wasn’t a page turner, can’t put it down book for me, it was very shocking and interesting. Although, I don’t know why these racist, violent acts surprise me at all anymore.
