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.

Iris Chang’s narrative is a powerful voice in this one - it’s a difficult book to read but throughly important.
