This time Ellroy spiels his fictionalized behind the scenes take on the Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War, and the Assassination of RFK. Folks with a sensitive disposition need not apply as mad dog Ellroy generously doles out graphic violence, moral relativsim, and cringe-worthy racism without a blink. This one goes down like that first shot of bourbon. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/419386?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
