This nonfiction narrative was told in a unique way, in that we hear the first half as a sort of escape/heist narrative, with a little context filled in. Then when the fugitives escape to Canada and the UK, it becomes more of a 'how did they continue the fight?" speculation based on not much detail about them, but a lot more detail about what others were doing. Interesting way to keep the tension, and the author's note shed light on the author's choices as well.
