*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.
In Carnegie, PA, 1932, the Ku Klux Klan is at the height of its power and they decided to celebrate themselves and show who they as a threat – including Catholics and Jews – how much power they have to keep them in their place. In this fictionalized retelling, there is a riot when the locals, lead by Sicilian immigrant, Primo Salerno, refuse to back down.
While I respect the research and detail in this, I would have appreciated translations of the non-English text. Just to keep the flow of reading without having to whip out my phone to use the dubiously successful Google Translate. Also, like a lot of historical graphic novels I read, this feels rushed. It is a great way to get the word out for further research but I felt it wasn’t complete. 3 out of 5.
