This book hits very close to home, as a former Duke student and documents the entirety of the Duke Lacrosse scandal that rocked the nation in 2007. It is a shocking depiction of the gross misuse of justice that was thrust upon not only the team, but their coach as well; it should be noted that the coach co-authored the book, and therefore it is definitely written with a slant towards the team. I would highly recommend watching the ESPN 30 for 30 “Fantastic Lies” for a visual portrayal of the story, but It’s Not About the Truth was an excellent written version. The book does a great job of investigating the factors, including racial/class differences and extremely vocal outrage culture, that lead to the perfect storm of a national scandal.
