PositiveBooklistInstead of a traditional narrative, Moore and Green allow the events to unfold through the eyes of seven different people, ranging from everyday citizens who get caught up in the days’ events to community and business leaders, a police captain, and a politician. The action is presented chronologically in chapters devoted to each person’s experiences. The shifting perspectives give the story a broad scope, revealing how tragedy, injustice, and long-seeded socioeconomic and policing inequities ripped apart an already tense city.
