Killers of the Flower Moon

Decided to read this after seeing Scorsese's recent adaptation. While i found the film itself to be a dull, repetitive slog, the story of the Osage Reign of Terror was fascinating and shocking and i felt the need to gain a more complete picture of what happened. This turned out to be a stellar read, with the most illuminating and sobering details being the laws and institutions that not only ignored but actively facilitated a conspiracy of murders with a scope that far exceeds the film's focus on one particularly notable villain. Here we see not only the corrupting effects of individual greed, but the all-consuming barbarism of settler colonialism as a whole.
