From bestselling author Jon Krakauer, a stark, powerful, meticulously reported
narrative about a series of sexual assaults at the University of Montana —
stories that illuminate the human drama behind the national plague of campus
rape
Missoula, Montana, is a typical college town, with a highly regarded state
university, bucolic surroundings, a lively social scene, and an excellent
football team — the Grizzlies — with a rabid fan base.
The Department of Justice investigated 350 sexual assaults reported to the
Missoula police between January 2008 and May 2012. Few of these assaults were
properly handled by either the university or local authorities. In this,
Missoula is also typical.
