This book is bonkers

A little Eurocentric, no?

Cannot wait to take his class next quarter

I started reading this last night and during the scene when the sun is setting and Ossian Sweet is preparing to defend his house my palms were actually sweating and I felt real fear coursing through my body. If all history was written like this we wouldn't think it was boring. Kevin Boyle my king<3

Interesting point but I feel like I'm reading the same sentence over and over again. Everything she's said in the first 3 chapters could have been summed up in a paragraph or less

Wow this is really good

Oh how I love this book

Look who’s starting books willy-nilly again instead of sticking to her priority to-read list!

Very science-y and factual as opposed to argumentative, which is what I’m used to lol. Still enjoying tho!

Recommended to me by my TA bc we’re covering this time period rn in class. Also Kathleen Belew is a Northwestern prof which is neat! Super interesting so far and also obv terrifying

This is shaping up to be an all-timer
