"[H]arrowing.... [I]ncisive.... Krakauer's investigation will succeed in altering the conversation around sexual violence .... Missoula will undoubtedly fortify those of us who have already broken our silence and may rally those who have not dared to." -- Los Angeles Times " Excellent .... Krakauer doesn't just tell the story of these crimes. As he has done so brilliantly in his other books...he sets the story firmly in the context of social history." -- Boston Globe " [A] narrative nonfiction page-turner .... Missoula demonstrates that it's not only possible but advantageous for reporters to remain clear-eye while also taking victims' concerns into account. Krakauer skillfully strengthens his sources' recollections without taking away their agency. He doesn't hide from complexity or nuance. " -- Katie Baker, BuzzFeed "[E]xpertly researched.... Equal parts riveting and horrifying, it's a hell of a read--and a necessary one. " -- People " [M]eticulously reported, fascinating and deeply disturbing .... By probing the specific, Krakauer illuminates upsetting generalities..... Krakauer--a journalist who is also a compelling writer--artfully keeps the books from becoming a compendium of facts..... It's an important, difficult and timely subject." -- USA Today " A good and needed thing .... [P]owerful.... Krakauer tells a sad an infuriating story.... Krakauer has done a great service by taking on this subject ." -- Newsweek " [A] case study of the widespread problem of campus rape .... For anyone distressed by the high rate of sexual assault afflicting young woman, and who wants to understand some of the ways in which the justice system fails them--and shouldn't that be all of us?-- Krakauer's book is worth reading ." -- Time "[A] devestating exposé of colleges and local law enforcement when it comes to investigating and prosecuting campus sex crimes.... [A] substantive deep dive into the morass of campus sex crimes, where the victim is too often treated like the accused." -- Entertainment Weekly " [S]crupulously reported ... The depth of [Krakauer's] reporting...illustrates just how difficult it can be for victims to get justice." -- Salon " [R]elentless, exhaustive.... Krakauer does not pretend to be scooping anyone. Instead, he systematically details the many myths surrounding rape and the many ways in which our society mistreats victims long after the actual assault." -- Outside " [C]lear and dispassionate , offering level-headed , in-depth reportage.... [T]he disquieting fact running through Krakauer's narrative is this: Missoula is typical." -- Chicago Tribune " [A]n impassioned study of campus rape .... Krakauer's evocative reporting, honed to a fine edge of anger, vividly conveys the ordeal of victims and their ongoing psychological dislocations. The result is a hard-hitting true-crime expose that looks underneath the he-said-she-said to get at the sexist assumptions that help cover up and enable these crimes." -- Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) From the Hardcover edition., "Excellent. . . . Krakauer doesn't just tell the story of these crimes.

Krakauer's straightforward writing resists sensationalism. . . . This is a book we all needed." -- Missoula Independent "A harrowing read. . . .

Synopsis
NATIONAL BESTSELLER . "A devastating expose of colleges and local law enforcement.... A substantive deep dive into the morass of campus sex crimes, where the victim is too often treated like the accused." - Entertainment Weekly Missoula, Montana, is a typical college town, home to a highly regarded state university whose beloved football team inspires a passionately loyal fan base. Between January 2008 and May 2012, hundreds of students reported sexual assaults to the local police. Few of the cases were properly handled by either the university or local authorities.In this, Missoula is also typical. In these pages, acclaimed journalist Jon Krakauer investigates a spate of campus rapes that occurred in Missoula over a four-year period. Taking the town as a case study for a crime that is sadly prevalent throughout the nation, Krakauer documents the experiences of five victims- their fear and self-doubt in the aftermath; the skepticism directed at them by police, prosecutors, and the public; their bravery in pushing forward and what it cost them. These stories cut through abstract ideological debate about acquaintance rape to demonstrate that it does not happen because women are sending mixed signals or seeking attention. They are victims of a terrible crime, deserving of fairness from our justice system. Rigorously researched, rendered in incisive prose, Missoula stands as an essential call to action., Missoula, Montana, is a typical college town, home to a highly regarded state university whose beloved football team inspires a passionately loyal fan base.
