asterius's review against another edition

dark medium-paced

Please read actual literature on the history of Appalachia if you want to understand the region, and not the warblings of a silicon valley millionaire upset with poor people for not having enough initiative.

While you're getting other books, read Hillbilly Reckoning, for thorough responses to this book by actual advocates and historians.
