This was a quick two week read in September and an amazing true story of corporate environmental terrorism, modern monopolies and systemic racism in America. This book was a real eye-opener, shocking but nothing was really surprising.
The book was very well written and a real fast paced page turner in the way it was structured through the series of court cases over the years. Poor black farmers vs one of the largest and most powerful corporations in the world. The author also has a very deep knowledge of American jurisprudence and certainly has an effective way with describing courtroom procedures. He was very good with his descriptions of hog farming in North Carolina and the mass production of pork.
The author has written several well received novels that I really do need to look into and read.
