This is an incredibly frank, informative look at key events throughout US history that have led to things being the way they are today. I learnt so much about topics I only had basic knowledge about, and Anderson does a great job of covering so much history in such a short book. There are a few points at which I felt further expansion would have been useful, such as including a discussion around the formation and rise of the NAACP and further explaining the growth of knowledge around the Reagan administration's drug trafficking scheme (and a bit more linking back to the central concept of white rage), but on the whole this is a very well-written and well-structured book that definitely does what it sets out to do, and one I'd recommend to all white people everywhere.

I’m always interested in the history I felt was hidden from me as a student, and this is quite extensive. All the whitewashing, white guilt, and watered down versions of our nation’s history are critically interrogated here. A blistering but essential read.

This book illuminates all of the white opposition and racism white people should avoid hiding from, but it’s very graphic. White Americans in particular, though, should push themselves to read this and reduce their ignorance of our historical role in perpetrating these offenses.caitlinemccann's review
