The best nonfiction books published in 2019 look to the
past in order to better understand the present. Some revisit conflicts
that have shaped the modern world, as Patrick Radden Keefe does in his
investigation of a murder in Northern Ireland during an era of sectarian
conflict. Some rebut old ideas, as Ojibwe writer David Treuer does to
the harmful misconception that Native civilization and culture ended
with the Wounded Knee Massacre. And others reclaim traumatic narratives,
as Chanel Miller does in her memoir of her sexual assault and the
subsequent court case, during which she became known as Emily Doe.
Here, the best nonfiction books of 2019.
