Ugh. Deep journalism and sledgehammer history. If you want to see America's (lack of) response over and over and over again to genocide across the globe, read this one. It's not easy to read because it's not a pretty picture.

One of the most interesting books I've ever read. This is a love story to a mountain, and it makes the reader fall in love right along with the author.

There's a chapter on the soil of Rainier, and it's fascinating. Yes, a chapter on dirt is amazing.
