"I liked how to make it clear that revolutions don't happen overnight. Just because there's a huge battle doesn't mean the revolution is over."
Never has an author so smoothly summed up a 335 page book before. The book takes place over centuries, and takes on the concept of "the arch of history bends towards justice"; showing that the bend toward justice is not only a lengthy process, but also incredibly difficult work built on small victories over time. There are few books that use read that I would recommend to everyone I meet (walkaway and Atlas Shrugged being two of them) and this book is one of them. I'm going to read it again and again and again until it's seared into my brain.
