Very interesting and sad. A little heavy handed with the racism references, but then again that's probably because I live here and I know how messed up the South/USA is, both past and present.

It was timely to read this book as "Black Lives Matter" protests were erupting across the U.S. This book is both an in-depth history of The Stocking Stranglings, the case against Carlton Gary, and the flaws in that case, as well as a history of racial injustice in Columbus, GA. It's an important book to read at this historic moment and helps illuminate some of the issues at the heart of the protests.
