Well presented evidence for a democracy in disrepair

I came to this audiobook as a fan of Jill Lepore. I am now even more convinced that she has found a way to show us ourselves with good, fascinating, unblinking grace. Inside the tempo
and flair of the who-done—it story, we learn history’s secret places that have bent public perception. With the steady, careful, and entertaining use of archival recordings. we hear the real voices of players who pushed us toward the questions that ask if our democracy can survive.

Shocking history, well told and well researched
Reviewed: 01-28-19
I have now both read this account in print and listened on Audible. The narration is quite good. While I had known about the murders I had not known about the involvement of the fledgling FBI. The research and interviews are compelling and in-depth. Highly recommended.
