Kill 'Em and Leave: Searching for the Real James Brown by James McBride

The author delves not just into James Brown but gives backstory into everyone that surrounded him and the context of the time. While the author was able to write a nuanced depiction of James Brown's struggle with money and alcohol, McBride was unable to do so when talking about Brown's relationships with women. This includes being dissmissive of assault claims. You might find excerpts in the subreddit r/men writing women.
