Read this book for the 2nd time. Perhaps not a great book in its writing, but well-written in a simple easy style. It deals with a shameful, terrible and dark episode in US history of which I was completely unaware. How different the USA, and thus the world, may have been; how different the US foreign policy, and attitude to the rest of the world, might have been, had Reconstruction not been systematically smashed.
This book affected me deeply, both times I read it.

Eu não esperava que esse livro fosse tão bom, ele me tocou profundamente e a cada caso de racismo e cenas fortes de violência, parecia uma punhalada em mim.
O que me incomodou muito ao ponto de eu tirar uma estrela, foram as falas e atos machistas no livro. Por mais que eu entenda o contexto histórico e que a sociedade era muito conservadora, eu não consigo separar isso muito bem.
