Devil in the Grove: Thurgood Marshall, the Groveland Boys, and the Dawn of a New America by Gilbert King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was so compelling and so important. As a resident of Florida, 1994-2004, I had heard some outlines of this, but understanding the complicity of law enforcement with white supremacy in these generations takes effort. This book is worth your effort.
This paperback edition, in the addenda, give the author more space, in which to both discuss his process, and cite a few quotations, and, even more important, share some particularly literate letters of comment from his reader mail.
