Why read it?

3 authors picked By the Fire We Carry as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book taught me a lot about the history of Indigenous Americans, but it felt personal. Reading the book feels like a long great talk with a friend who has a hard story to tell and tells it well.

It is a powerful, difficult history well told.

A stunning achievement in research, storytelling and writing.

One cannot walk away from the reading feeling hopeful about the future of Indigenous rights, nor for the future of the United States to withstand the forces of corruption, greed and lies inherent in our history and society, but one can take away a profound admiration for the capacity of the human spirit for righteousness to endure, to seek justice, and to hold on to what is morally valuable for future generations.
