When McBride received a tip that promised to uncover the "real James Brown\," he set off on a trail that would reveal the influences that created this genius of soul music. Kill 'Em and Leave: Searching for James Brown and the American Soul is more than a book about James Brown. It is an unsettling metaphor for American life: the tension between North and South\, black and white\, rich and poor.
