Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town by Jon Krakauer

5.0

An important read about an issue not at all unique to this town. Sheds light on the myths and misunderstandings of rape, the trauma and disbelief inflicted on victims, and the complexities and failings of our justice system. Krakauer makes his compassion for rape victims clear; the empathy that is underlying this work helped me read it with a feeling of understanding and warmth, even with the harsh and brutal nature of the topic.
