challenging dark hopeful informative inspiring sad tense medium-paced

5.0

In my opinion, this is more than a book - it's an intense, superbly researched and thoroughly intriguing piece that focuses on some of the most dramatic and important events of the late 20th Century. This work of art is astonishing from the get-go, the level of detail given to every paragraph and story is indescribable. It tells horrifying and crushing tales, yet closes out its overall story in a beautiful and hopeful manner. It feels like it takes you on a journey through time and Earth as you become familiar with the tragedies that befell countless people, stories that are and always will be worth hearing. I've been trying with this review, but I genuinely lack the words to describe how I feel.

My personal book of the year.
