Synopsis
The author of this book presents an insightful and animated examination of dangerous ideals that have shaped America since its inception, through the lens of anti-slavery activist John Brown's infamous raid on Harper's Ferry. This book uses Brown's actions as a catalyst to dissect the hypocrisy that exists at the heart of American Exceptionalism. The author traces how America's belief in its own moral superiority has been used to justify violence and oppression. They argue that Brown's raid was a direct result of the country's failure to live up to its ideals of liberty and equality. Ultimately challenging contemporary America to grapple with the legacy of white supremacy and violence which still influences its political and social fabric.
