emotional informative sad slow-paced

4.0

The book is so well researched and informative, I would give it 5 ⭐. That being said, it's like reading a textbook . It's very dry. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator is monotone so that didn't enhance it in any way. Highly recommend.

I hope there are history courses that are assigning this book to read and discuss. This is the history I wish I had learned throughout my education.

Fairly academic. The author's argument is well-made, and I learned so many things that should have been covered in U.S. history courses.
