challenging emotional informative reflective tense fast-paced

A very straightforward telling of the events around one of the most significant leaks of classified information during the Iraq war. Manning does a good job of explaining how her experiences drove her to make the decisions she made leading up to the leaks and throughout her time in military prison.

Harrowing, impactful, inspiring. Gave me a lot to think about, especially considering the US funded atrocities happening in Palestine at the moment.

intensely readable but i would have liked more. fuck the DOD for the redactions. the craziest part is that they PUT HER BACK IN JAIL for another year, not mentioned in the book. the injustice she faced/faces is so flagrant you almost forget the US has a constitution meant to protect against it

I’m not sure what was going on with the narration, but you could tell where a passage started and stopped. Whoever did the editing did a really poor job. It kind of ruined the listening experience
