dark informative medium-paced

5.0

as someone who was only vaguely familiar with chelsea manning's story beforehand - i'm not american & was a child when it all went down - learning what she had to endure was absolutely infuriating. nothing new i know but GOD the shit the american military gets away with is fucking mind-boggling

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

challenging dark informative

A difficult but important book. It's good to learn more about things in her own words, and it's impressive how much she was able to disclose even with censors.
