dark informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

For a historical non-fiction book (I usually find these quite dry and difficult to finish), this is really beautifully and skillfully written despite the horrible subject matter, and compassionate about the people involved and history in general. Way too many people involved to follow easily (not the author's fault) - keep a note of who's who!
