Among the most memorable sections of the book are her response to the White supremacist terrorist attack in Charlottesville and her own often caustic exchanges with Trump and his representatives during press conferences. Positive Kirkus Though she moves fluidly across eras, Ryan focuses primarily on her role as a top White House correspondent during the Trump era and her reporting of-and sometimes personal involvement in-a range of stories prompted by his incendiary reign. An uneven but rigorously reported, urgent book. Anyone with grand illusions about the American justice system will have lost them by the end. Overall, though, Dawidoff presents a compelling examination of a situation in which police officers eager to put another case in the \'solved\' column ignored obvious evidence and coerced a teenager into a confession of a crime he didn\'t commit. Certain chapters are not thoroughly integrated into the narrative structure. Readers anxious to get on with the story may get bogged down in the long account, drawing on Fields\' sister\'s memoir, of his childhood in South Carolina. The author’s research and dedication to the project are clear, but the book would have benefitted from a stronger editorial hand.
Positive Kirkus The text-compassionate, thoughtful, and thorough to a fault-is caught somewhat uncomfortably between a sociological study of the causes and results of racial division and a more straightforward narrative of Bobby\'s conviction, imprisonment, and bumpy reentry into society.
