Yeah I’m marking this as read but I only got through about the first 35% which was like 20 hours in the audio book. Interesting but just toooo detailed for me as someone who is not that big into non fiction. Very well researched and written though.

This is interesting, incredibly thorough, and dense. I almost gave up a couple times but for the first hand accounts of the author peppered throughout.

An exhaustive work of journalism. Worth noting that the author, on multiple occasions, uses "homosexual" as a pejorative.

It's a hard read
At first because of the subject matter and just how dark it is, and then later on because it just becomes a deluge of dates and historical battles, almost like a textbook. 

Was thankful when it was over but I might come back to reread it when I have the time to comb over the information.
