challenging dark informative reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

This is an incredibly well written and researched book. I felt physically ill many times throughout the book, and I struggled to push through all the chapters. Anyone who is interested in history must read this book, as it is unfortunately a very much forgotten chapter of human history. I'm glad to be infinitely more educated on this event then I was previously.

challenging informative reflective sad fast-paced

She has obvious anti socialist biases, but she grew up in usa so that's expected. 

As long as you're aware of her bias, it's a good and informative book.
