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.

I found the army portions to be more engaging. I am curious of what she has to say about good versus bad leadership. It’s well written.

This book was compelling and impressive. Daniella is such a fighter and inspires me with her tale of grit. I was a little put off by how often d*ke was thrown around in this book…but I trust the author after she talks about meeting Obama shortly after Don’t Ask Don’t tell was repealed. Good read!!!

Daniella is an incredibly insightful, knowledgeable, and relatable voice on the subject of high-control groups. Her combination of unique experiences and education on the subject make her perspective utterly invaluable to a nuanced understanding of how cults & other high control groups operate successfully, including the psychological manipulation of it’s members.
