Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Haunting and disturbing. The voices of the victims will forever touch my heart. To turn a deaf ear to this type of injustice is to give permission for it to continue. As a people, as a society, we should be outraged." --Jennifer Thompson, coauthor of Picking Cotton

"[The Boys of the Dark] reads seamlessly.... A worthy exploration of a regrettably long-lasting true-crime nightmare." --Kirkus

"This deeply moving story is highly recommended to readers of heart-wrenching memoirs, 20th-century American studies, or true crime." --Library Journal

"Unimaginably moving--readers will want to keep a box of tissues at hand--and deeply compassionate." --People on After the Fire

"Honest and intimate... Fisher conveys a deep respect and compassion for all involved." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) on After the Fire

Reseña del editor:

Documents the horrifying practices witnessed by the authors at their 1950s reform school, where students were terrorized by sadistic guards who assaulted, raped and possibly murdered students, in an account that also traces the authors' determined efforts to expose and confront their abusers.
