The Most Important Book I May Have Ever Read
I originally wrote a dissertation-length review of this book before opting to delete it and simply say: if you want to sing a recurring chorus of "there's no f***ing way this can be true?!" while learning more than you ever thought possible, about a topic you thought you already knew a decent amount about: then you need to buy this book (and some pencils for marking up the margins). It is the most uncomfortable, disheartening, damning, and critically important book I may have ever read. Everyone, and I mean everyone, needs to know this history (and the facts that back it up). There are no acceptable excuses for this "forgotten history", and it is now up to our generation to find an acceptable path forward, while never downplaying the horrors of our past.
