Having not lived in the US before, or been to the Ozarks, it held a certain fascination and some romanticism for me.
I have to say that this book was very well researched and presented. Even for someone like myself, who has no idea of the history or people, it proved fascinating and eye opening. I now understand the economic importance of certain things and the role that moonshine payed in those communities. Politics and power plays as allways prove very fascinating, especially in this community.
I know some people said that it wasn't a page turner. That may well be the case, but it is a valid and extremely interesting book.
I would recommend it to everyone who has an interest in History.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.… (plus d'informations)
