The book is so well researched and informative, I would give it 5 ⭐. That being said, it's like reading a textbook . It's very dry. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator is monotone so that didn't enhance it in any way. Highly recommend.

This book was rough to get through, but it had more to do with the heaviness of the topic. Just when I thought I was well informed of the terrible history of this country, I learned even newer things that shouldn't have surprised me as they did. It was very informative though, and I highly recommend reading it, though I also encourage people to take breaks in between chapters.
