challenging dark informative tense

4.5

I found out about the author via her tiktok account knitting cult lady 

I want it first known i read only the part about the army because I've been encountering a lot of microaggressions lately over the military & i didn't have time to listen to the first 2 parts because of that recent crisis.

This book helped clarify how a lot of these horrible laws such as the no water laws were normalized in the military before they became laws. I often call racial capitalist patriarchy a dictatorship of war rape & the history of plantations bears that out, though she didn't necessarily know USAmerican history before joining.

bsimmonds's review against another edition

2.0

This story is important, heartbreaking, and worthwhile. Also, the writing is repetitive, with sentences from the previous paragraph repeated in a different word order... throughout the entire book. Somehow, it's still hard to follow despite the constant reminders to the reader. Overall, it's a valuable and unique perspective distracted by the writing itself.
