“why did men get to leave when they didn’t get what they wanted?”
no but like fr.

i don't know if i liked this or not but it did have me in a chokehold and i have been thinking of it periodicallly, so like a win is a win?

this entire book feels like it doesn't dwell on the inbetween, the present moment- instead, it's like living with the aftermath of a thing. i appreciate what the book is doing- it's so clearly thoughtful and well-researched, and i love how it highlights such a little known part of history. it's far off from a perfect book, but i do think elements of it will linger for a while to come.
