The True American by Anand Giridharadas
Imagine that a terrorist tried to kill you. If you could face him again, on your terms, what would you do?
"In telling the story of Raisuddin Bhuiyan, an immigrant who pleaded for clemency for the white racist who tried to kill him, Anand Giridharadas presents an absorbing, haunting picture of what has happened to large tranches of the US" -- The Irish Times
"Remarkable... A richly detailed, affecting account... Giridharadas seeks less to uplift than illuminate." -- The New York Times Book Review
"Moving and indelible... manifestly inspirational..." -- Salon
