Writing this review as an Asian immigrant in Canada who was previously not knowledgable about the US: this was a good introduction to American history and politics and why the country is the way it is today in terms of social issues. The chapter on Trump administration's atrocities lost me quite a bit. The reference is a great list for further readings and many of them are already on my non-fiction tbr for this year.
Mary L. Trump writes with compassion and elegance that I wish I had whenever I have trouble articulating things. I do also wonder how effective this will be for someone who doesn't already agree with certain key parts e.g. racism still exists.
