A fearless investigation of Jeffrey Epstein's underage sex trafficking operation, Perversion of Justice exposes the broken system and powerful people that protected him. Dauntless journalist Julie K. Brown tracks down dozens of Epstein's victims, revealing how he ran a global sex trafficking pyramid scheme with impunity for years, targeting vulnerable teens and turning them into recruiters.

A riveting book, an extraordinary crusade, undertaken by a dedicated reporter in defiance of the legal and financial risks it caused her. @jkbjournalist did the kind of pathbreaking, risk-taking work that deserves a Pulitzer, as @GlennKesslerWP says downthread.      fuente

I mean, I shouldn’t be surprised, because I started writing about 1918 in 1998*, and read Alfred Crosby, whose amazing book Epidemic and Peace, 1918 (later reworked as America’s Forgotten Pandemic) documented the hole in collective memory that 1918 had fallen into. 1/x      fuente

King Leopold's Ghost
A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa
Adam Hochschild - 1999-09-03 (publicado por primera vez en 1998)
Calificación de Goodreads
This impactful book delves into the dark history and atrocities committed by King Leopold II of Belgium in the Congo. With incredible detail and moving accounts, author Adam Hochschild tells the story of those who fought against him, including Edmund Morel and Roger Casement, as well as the courageous black Americans George Washington Williams and William Sheppard. Through their struggles, this harrowing tale ultimately gave birth to the first human rights movement of the 20th century. King Leopold's Ghost is a must-read for anyone interested in the tragic history of the Congo and the struggle for human rights.

@rdhduke @moorehn Recommended reading: King Leopold’s Ghost, by Adam Hochschild. Came out maybe 20 years ago, but was a best-seller in its time, all about atrocities what was the colonized Belgian Congo.      fuente
