An earlier book, The Promised Land, by Nicholas Lemann, is also excellent.

I'm ordering The Warmth of Other Suns now.

(By the way, I'm a boomer who thought "ok boomer" was hilarious. My wife and I have been saying it to one another for days. However, I'm not surprised that some privileged boomers got their panties in a wad about it. And we are seeing how some extremely privileged white folks are reacting to a perceived loss of power and influence by shouting that they're being oppressed, er, lynched. Cause it's all about them.)
