"This young reader's edition has been thoroughly adapted and trimmed to about half the length of the adult original, but Brown's contagious sense of outrage remains . . . Based largely on oral histories and interviews, this shameful episode offers a telling lesson for all readers who take their own rights for granted: 'Their stories aren't just history, ' Brown writes. 'They shine a light on our own time.'"—
