Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town

Short review: Ban Men
Longer review: Horrifying look at rape culture at work in Missoula, MT, but also applicable everywhere. The first half of the book is much stronger. The second half is basically court transcripts. I would have liked to see more synthesis, and author insight. At the very end Krakauer is also like, "I had no idea it was this bad and that so many women were raped and now I know," and it was kind of strange but I guess it was also honest. What really struck me in this book is how it stated what so many of us already know--there is little justice to be found where rape is concerned and we have a A LOT of work yet to do.

I feel like this should be required reading.
