Review title: Interesting subject, poor book
Product review: I frankly had never heard of the awful race riot in Tulsa on May 31 and June 1, 1921. This account is slipshoddily written by a journalist, not by a historian. The book has no footnotes and no real bibliography. So much of the account is devoted to guessing and while the book is rightly sympathetic to the black victims the account often lapses into juvenilistic maudlin journalism. The story is important, the event is full of horrific atrocities by white people, but the telling is not done well. Instead of expatiating on how awful things were I would far rather the author had laid out the facts, complete with footnotes. ...I simply have no faith that this account is objective and accurate. Sorry. I see there are other books dealing with the event...
