This book reminds us how powerful, corruptive and dangerous people, or in this case pigs, can be. You probably know the actual historical context of this book ( if not Google it) and if anything this book is a clear cut representation of how powerful leaders can manipulate ideas, scapegoat people and alter events for their own benefit. There is so much history within this book and I found myself constantly sighing at how unbelievably gullible people (animals in this case) can be and how easily people can be influenced and a false sense of trust can be formed.
