informative slow-paced

5.0

This book was incredibly well written and informative. In many ways reading this book was horrifying because it made me realise how little I know about certain political events. The events described are horrifying but everyone should know about them. The stories relayed here showcase the power of political propaganda and radicalisation and the corrupt nature of Western involvement in international politics. Not being educated on the impact the covert and open involvement of the West has had in other countries creates the opportunity for ignorance to be exploited. We should all be aware of what governments are doing so we can ensure they are held accountable for their actions and do not abuse their power to incite mass violence and further their own agendas.

The book has many mentions of war, colonialism, violence, kidnapping, sexual violence and slavery. None of it is very graphic but it can be very uncomfortable and triggering.
