✨ Summarized by Bookclubs AI
Readers say *Killers of the Flower Moon* is a well-researched, important account that exposes systemic racism and injustices faced by the Osage people...
Fascinating! I grew up less than an hour away from where all of this took place and never once was taught anything about it.
Until I read this book, I had never heard of the Osage murders. Once I started reading, I was outraged at the numbers of suspected murders that were never investigated. This country has and continues to abuse its indigenous people. We should at least record their history.
Well researched and disturbing. I had never heard of the Osage Reign of Terror before and it is so appalling that it lasted so much longer than the FBI declared, and that it was all made possible by racist requirements for guardianship.
I thought the book was respectful toward the dead and their descendants, and the writing itself moved quickly enough that it toed the line well between a historical recap and true crime.
