Missoula.

"Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town" by Jon Krakauer is a riveting and profoundly unsettling exploration of sexual assault on college campuses, focusing on a series of cases that occurred in Missoula, Montana, home to the University of Montana. Through meticulous reporting and compelling storytelling, Krakauer illuminates the often flawed ways in which rape cases are investigated and prosecuted, revealing the deep-seated prejudices and institutional failures that betray victims and let perpetrators walk free. Set against the backdrop of a small but emblematic American college town, this book not only exposes the specific challenges faced by rape survivors in Missoula but also reflects a wider, national crisis in how our justice system deals with sexual violence. Engaging and instructive, Krakauer's narrative is a crucial call to action, demanding better from the institutions sworn to protect and serve all citizens.
