This is an important book and should be required reading in schools. I'd encourage every American to read it, especially those who might question whether the US has a systemic racism problem. There were many facts in this book that floored me, and the extent to which the author was able to draw parallels between the United States and Nazi Germany was equally astounding and disturbing. I listened to the audio-book on my first go-round, but I do think I'd like to purchase a copy of this book to reread, and this time I'll have a pencil and a highlighter.
