Englander is too good to fall flat on his face. Still, the troubled birth of his second novel is very much in evidence.

I strongly suggest reading this book. Also, I would never have probably found this book if it hadn't been for The StoryGraph too! Strongly suggest using that website because it does a great job of tracking the books you have read and liked and making recommendations based on those ratings.
But back to this book, I was extremely impressed with the historical relevance and the research the author did because even though this is a book of non fiction, it does a remarkable job of retelling major historical events. I have now fallen down the rabbit hole of researching this period and the key players from it. Strongly recommend!

Amazing book. But so accurately depicted to lead to frustration as this conflict will never find an end.
