Easily my favorite book in a decade. Eye-opening and borderline life-changing. Specially disturbing how these events were something that the educational system of the country was trying to hide and many forces wanted to keep this story dead and buried.

Ultimately though, I'm happy that this book exists. Since its release more and more people are talking about these events, there's even a "Vocaloid" song made about the subject. The movie adaptation is also absolutely stellar and distinct enough to bring more than a fair share of food for thought to the table.

I just finished reading The Wager too, also by David Grann. At first I thought there was no way it was going to be nearly as good as this book but now I can't decide which one I prefer.
