Frankly I disliked this book and had a hard time even finishing it. I am such a huge fan of the poppy war and this book was a disappointing follow up by rfk. Every single page made me so angry and the book almost felt like rage bait. All the points the book tried to make were very explicit and didn't leave much room for the reader to do any thinking at all. An interesting premise but fell flat.
