The darkness that lurked beneath the surface of 1920s Oklahoma was about to be exposed. In "Killers of the Flower Moon", Tom Wachtel delves into the shocking true story of the Osage Nation, a group of Native Americans who lived in relative luxury and prosperity during the early 20th century. But their lives would soon take a deadly turn.
The Osage people were being murdered, robbed, and killed for their land, oil, and valuables. The government was aware of this but did nothing to stop it. It wasn't until a young FBI agent named Tom White took on the case that justice would be served.
This book is not just a tale of murder and corruption, but also a fascinating history of the early days of the Bureau of Investigation. Wachtel's meticulously researched account sheds light on the complexities of the era and the people involved in this heinous crime. A gripping true story of greed, power, and the birth of a new law enforcement agency that would change America forever.
