Review:
. .. A terrific book. Much of it reads like a wild, imaginative adventure novel. That the story is true and only now coming fully to light makes it all that much more amazing. It can only add to our understanding of how strong men and their convictions and their daring so often lead to calamity, especially for those who believe in and follow them. The Los Angeles Times

Laurel, Delaware, police are facing a federal lawsuit alleging two white officers used excessive force when they wrongfully arrested an African American teenager during a traffic stop.
The complaint is over the 2019 arrest of Roger Warner, a then-17-year-old who was driving home from school when a police officer pulled him over in an incident that started as a traffic violation and ended with Warner being pulled from his car and thrown to the ground. Mr. Warner, who suffered the loss of his father in 2009 and has been raised by his mother, alleges he was forced to defer his high school graduation for a year as a result of the trauma caused by his improper arrest and assault, Warner s attorneys Robin Cockey and Ashley Bosché said in a statement.
