The Algiers Motel Incident by John Hersey
A haunting investigative account of the 1965 Detroit riot aftermath in which police officers and civilian security personnel detained, brutalized, and killed three young Black men and one Latino man at a small motel, examining conflicting testimonies, cover-ups, and the failure of justice. Through interviews, courtroom records, and narrative reconstruction it recreates the night’s events, profiles victims and witnesses, and probes the racial tensions and institutional failures that allowed the killings and subsequent evasions of responsibility.
