5.0
Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC!
I got married on June 3, 1989. I woke up the next morning to . . . what happened on Tiananmen Square. I was a college student and I remember so intensely how I identified with the student protesters, and how horrifying what happened was--and yet how very different the world looked just a year later. I really enjoyed this graphic history of the protests narrated by an activist who was actually there. The events of 1989 shaped our world so much--I hope this excellent and accessible history reaches many of our young people who were not there then.
