i found it a little slow and dense at times, but overall a very good and important book.
i’m not very good at history and world politics bc things go through one ear and out the other when i hear about it. but reading about it like this makes it easier for me to understand the chain of events irl better
i wish hassan’s death was treated differently. when i read it i was so disappointed at first, with how it’s handled. it would’ve been a very different story if hassan didn’t die, but i think i was expecting that story up until then.
