About Missoula by Jon Krakauer:
 
Between 2010 and 2014, there was a spate of sexual assaults in the university town of Missoula, Montana, which drew the attention of the national media—and the Department of Justice.
 
Centering around five cases of sexual assault at the University of Montana, Jon Krakauer’s account shows how one city became a microcosm for how campus rape is handled in the United States.
 
Krakauer draws on police interviews, court testimony, and extensive research to reveal the complacency, failures, and successes of the prosecutors, the victims, the Missoula police, and the university in the handling of these disturbingly frequent sexual assault cases.
