Pulitzer Prize finalist Deborah Baker has written a riveting and panoptic account of what unfolded in Charlottesville the weekend of August 11-12, 2017 focusing less on the rally’s far-right leaders than on the story of the city itself. Baker shows how a city more associated with Thomas Jefferson than civil unrest became a flashpoint in a continuing struggle over our nation’s founding myths.

Copies of the book will be available for sale.
