A review by ryngagen
README.txt by Chelsea Manning
3.0
A fascinating and raw look into Chelsea Manning's childhood, military career, and imprisonment. I appreciated Chelsea Manning's discussions on information access, data privacy, and government transparency. I also learned so much about the unique challenges transgender people face in the military and in prison, and her writing about her early transition journey was beautiful.
However, I really struggled with the pacing and writing style of this book. Some really interesting parts of the story were covered very vaguely and quickly, and I often found that I lacked enough context to appreciate the complexities of the decisions Chelsea made. I definitely understand that much of this may be due to legal issues or redaction of information, and I would still recommend this book for those interested in the subject.
Can't wait to follow Chelsea's future activism!
