In August 2017, Over A Thousand NeoNazis, Fascists, Klan Members, And NeoConfederates Descended On A Small Southern City To Protest The Pending Removal Of A Statue Of Robert E. Lee. Within An Hour Of Their Arrival, The CityS Historic Downtown Was A Scene Of Bedlam As Armored FarRight Cadres Battled Activists In The Streets. Before The Weekend Was Over, A NeoNazi Had Driven A Car Into A Throng Of Counterprotesters, Killing A Young Woman And Injuring Dozens.Pulitzer Prize Finalist Deborah Baker Has Written A Riveting And Panoptic Account Of What Unfolded That Weekend, Focusing Less On The RallyS FarRight Leaders Than On The Story Of The City Itself. University, Local, And State Officials, Including Law Enforcement, Were Unable Or Unwilling To Grasp The Gathering Threat. Clergy, Activists, And Organizers From All Walks Of Life Saw More Clearly What Was Coming And, At Great Personal Risk, Worked To Warn And Defend Their City.To Understand Why Their Warnings Fell On Deaf Ears, Baker Does A Deep Dive Into American History. In Her Research, She Discovers An Uncannily Similar Event That Took Place Decades Before When An Emissary Of The Poet And Fascist Ezra Pound Arrived In Charlottesville Intending To Start A Race War. In Charlottesville, Baker Shows How A City More Associated With Thomas Jefferson Than Civil Unrest Became A Flashpoint In A Continuing Struggle Over Our NationS Founding Myths.

As a Charlottesville resident, I found this book really eye-opening. It tells stories I never knew about my own town. The illustrations and photographs are a nice touch, too! Perfect for anyone wanting to appreciate the local history more.

Interesting but Somewhat Long
The book covers a lot of ground, but I felt it dragged in parts. While the background on Charlottesville is intriguing, some chapters seemed repetitive. Still worth the read if you want to understand the local culture better.

Could Have Been More Concise
I appreciate the depth of research, but the book could have been a bit more concise. Some sections felt drawn out. It’s informative, just a bit heavy on details at times. Still, a good addition to my library!

Not What I Expected
I was hoping for a more personal narrative but got a lot of historical facts instead. While informative, I found it a little dry. Maybe not for everyone. I wish I had checked out some reviews before purchasing.
