Five Days: The Fiery Reckoning of an American City by Erica L. Green, Wes Moore

3.0

I will start this review by noting that I "read" this as an audio book with about a month break in between before finishing... tracking/keeping straight the 7 perspectives was challenging but I got the main points. The ending offered no closure, but I guess that's the point of systemic racism, poverty, police brutality, drug addiction... all not probelms that are easily solved. This is an important book that is helping me understand more about the role policy plays is keeping people like me comfortable. I definitely liked the narrative structure of The Other Wes Moore better.
