Taibbi, Matt

This powerful, eye-opening work goes beyond the headlines of an arrest that helped ignite a national protest movement against police brutality and injustice. Hoffman's narration carries the message convincingly throughout. ["An insightful, important account for all readers": LJ 10/1/17 review of the Spiegel & Grau hc.]

A must-read for anyone interested in examining the divide between what gets excused in the name of "law and order" and what it truly means to protect and serve. An insightful, important account for all readers.

Taibbi's glib prose is punctuated with just enough irreverence and wit to allow him to appeal to more casual readers while providing sufficient detail to satisfy those looking for a serious discussion of the high-level manipulation of the economy. Recommended for anyone interested in understanding the economy and how it got that way.
