David Grann is a master of the 'page-turner history' genre. This isn't some dusty account of the past; it’s a visceral look at a period of American history that was buried for far too long.
By stripping away the more R-rated gore of the original bestseller but keeping the investigative tension, this version makes a complex conspiracy easy to follow. It’s essential reading for any kid who thinks history is just a list of dates to memorize. It’s dark, yes, but it’s the kind of darkness that sheds a lot of light on how our legal system actually works.
