This is a very detailed reconstruction of a pivotal moment in the US civil rights movement. But there is much that is new here, with the unearthed court transcripts and one of the only interviews with Carolyn Bryant since the case being the major cornerstones of the book that set it apart from others that have tackled the Emmett Till story. Reading this book, it was really hard for me to believe that this all happened just over sixty years ago. It's a story from the dark ages.
