Radden Keefe's writing is objective and informative while also remaining gripping and maintaining an excellent storytelling tone. I was consistently impressed with how well he kept every subject covered interesting, and how he manages to switch contexts without losing the reader or making it jarring.
Thanks to John Oliver for recommending this on Hot Ones. I'd happily do the same for anyone with an interest in history, radical ideologies, revolution, and modern struggles for independence as well as the cost of said struggles.

marina_s's review against another edition
This book centres on the people who lost the most, and gives a real sense of trauma inflicted on everyone both during the active fighting, and the rippling after effects. I kept thinking this was further in the past but the events at the end of the book were well within my adult lifetime. How do people move on, and should they?
