A partisan tour of low-lights of the South.
Having lived decades in both the South and the rural and urban North, a quick read of this book shows it to be entertaining writing of a tour of skid rows of the "South", starting with rundown motels and bars in West Virginia (the South?).
The tour is populated with persons encountered in those spots, and the story fortified by history vignettes of the cruelties of slavery and of now-closed Southern prisons.
I've traveled through 90% of the "Lower 48" and know how to find fringe locales in any area or community--also how to find happy and prosperous areas in any region (excepting possibly Northern Urban enclaves).
Mr. Horwitz is a skilled, entertaining writer. I have and enjoyed his "Confederates in the Attic", but my past 3 decades of living in the Deep South have shown it to be a remnant of traditional, home & family "Middle America", with much less racial tension than I experienced in large Northern cities.
Unfortunately this book is too political--then it became openly anti-Trump. The original idea was good and interesting, though he should have followed Olmstead's route through the South Atlantic states.

A true WWII hero with an astonishing surprise.
Jan Karski is an unsung hero of WWII, and his book should be a classic of the history of that war. It puts to rest for all time the myth that the Allies, including FDR, did not know of the holocaust prior to US troops discovering Dachau in 1945. They did know. Our countries did know--in graphic detail, by early 1944.

Excellent information--obviously from much research--for those of us who've read Lee's Lieutenants, or would hope to do so.
