Part of me wanted Grann to lean further into his political leanings, specifically regarding the FBI, as my outrage at the truths the book illuminates made me eager for some scathing rebuttal or judgment. But I'm glad Grann has more restraint than me, as his approach is far more effective and searing than any commentary could be, especially considering how damning the hard facts of the story are. And to his credit, the historical details and quotes he uses in the section documenting the FBI's development speak volumes to his opinion of the thing. Even Tom White, the "hero" of the FBI investigation that resulted in meaningful arrests, is a flawed person who, as Grann smartly and briefly acknowledges at one point, eventually settles into the same lifestyle as the people he's often quoted as detecting.
I'm incredibly glad I read this (or, rather, listened to the excellent audiobook), and in an ideal world, I would love to assume that it becomes mandatory reading.

With clear, considering language David Grann gives a bloody history of the 1920s Reign of Terror on the Osage Tribe of Osage County, Oklahoma. Grann is careful to point out the inherently racist ideologies behind this haunting conspiracy while remaining respectful of Osage people, culture, and traditions. This is a dark, dark book but immensely interesting for its look into a period of time and a series of murders that have been buried in history.
