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

4.0

The writing is beautiful, the characters very real and the reporting extensive. My struggle with the book comes from the utility of some of the voices featured — while I understand the value of folks working to change the system from the inside, I can’t help but wonder if this book took too close a look at the inside, when so much of the story of the Baltimore Uprising is and was from the streets.
