challenging informative reflective sad fast-paced

She has obvious anti socialist biases, but she grew up in usa so that's expected. 

As long as you're aware of her bias, it's a good and informative book.

This is one of the most harrowing, disturbing history books I have ever read and further proof that nothing good happens on Dec 12 (I was born on this date).
