Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann

4.0

This is partly history and true crime. It tells the story of the Osage Nation who are hearded onto a rocky wasteland and given the rights to it. But when oil is discovered this sets in motion events that include exploitation and murder. The Osage are not treated as American citizens and indeed to some exploiters are seen as children at best and animals at worst . Though a well researched book, it is by the author's own admission barely scrapes the surface. Many more were exploited and murdered but have vanished into the disappearance of time and history. A well written and informative book.
