What people are saying
“As engaging as it is enraging…a superb job of reintroducing people into the discussion and exposing how white supremacy is the unspoken root of much of today’s political discourse…a necessary read that is more than a biography of a blowhard sheriff—it is a chronicle of how seemingly impossible battles are the ones that matter most.”
— Gabino Iglesias, The Los Angeles Review of Books
