One book you won’t be able to seek out is perhaps the film’s most direct inspiration, The Algiers Hotel Incident.
In 1968, author John Hersey published a novel detailing the Algier Hotel events and the surrounding riots from the perspective of people who were actually there.
The film stars John Boyega, Will Poulter, Jack Reynor, Anthony Mackie, John Krasinski, and Jacob Latimore and will hit theaters on August 4, 2017.
