In some countries, blacks still pass through some form of racism and slavery. An individual might not even need to experience it to know how it feels: just reading a book in this regard goes a long way to creating an imagination. It only takes a brave personality to undergo these hurdles and still come out better.

Fear Me Now: The War Annex by Christopher Williams reveals the story of what happened to the blacks of the early 90s in historic West End, Atlanta. The storyline is primarily between the blacks versus the whites, with the dominant character in this book being Crenshaw Dimes who experienced racism. The author commenced by bringing to the reader's mind information on the early days of Crenshaw, family life, upbringing, relationship, friends, and education. How do you think he was able to pull through? What steps do you think he took? The way things unfolded kept me in a suspense as I kept anticipating the next step and outcome.

I had a complete enjoyment of this book starting from the first chapter because of its good flow of information. The author took time to explain the role of each character to justify the book's title. The writeup was practical and raw without the mincing of words and this gave the reader an imaginative feeling of the subject under consideration. The sacrifices of mothers go a long way in helping their children's life and this attribute was exhibited by Crenshaw's mother as her salary helped his education: she didn't exhibit negligence. This aspect of the book enhanced my enjoyment of it.

There is nothing to dislike about this book, however, at some point, I felt so emotional as I began to have a practical imagination of what these blacks must have passed through: maybe I related so fast to the subject because of my black race origin. Nevertheless, as I continued, my nerves were calmed as I began to see the turnout of events. Therefore, I am excited to give it a perfect rating of four out of four stars because it was professionally edited as I didn't encounter any obvious errors. This rating is also because of the book's educative content as it sharpens the mind of readers to events happening around them or in the world.

I therefore recommend this book to anyone who is a lover of knowledge and to persons who detest racism as they will find it appealing.
