Disturbingly eye-opening. This needs a second edition!

Many of the facts in this book repeat in many of Sowell's other writings. That being said, a lot of what is written is factual gold.

A decent amount of repetition for a few topics, but otherwise very informative.

If you've read a decent amount of Sowell, you will identify a great deal repetition, but all of these serve a purpose to prove his points.
Well written, thoroughly researched and cited, clear and to-the-point.
