RaveThe NationAn in-depth, forensic, and panoramic view of the long road to the Unite the Right rally. Through meticulous detective work and journalistic narrative, Baker shows us that the effort to unite the right goes back decades, incubated alongside Charlottesville’s history of harboring anti-Black reactionaries ... The book’s numerous character studies untangle seemingly everything about Charlottesville through the four centuries of its existence ... Baker makes it clear that no one should be surprised that this town was the same place a murderous right-wing rally took place in the 21st century.
