thorbrand's review against another edition

challenging informative sad slow-paced

4.0

Wow wow wow wow. Everyone should read this wonderful, informative, lively, fascinating book. I can't even imagine the amount of research that went into this book and I'm immensely grateful to Olusoga for doing it. This is definitely one that I'll revisit on future, maybe a chapter here and there to remind myself. The only thing I found difficult about it (other than some of the horrific facts and stories, obviously, of which there are many) is how long it is - not a criticism of the book at all, because it's all killer no filler and I get the impression that it could have been twice or three times as long. More a criticism of myself and my inability to stick with historical tomes - but I did it, and feel all the more informed for it.
