Horrifying.  A representation of how propaganda works and how different people find ways to operate under harmful systems--by assimilating, staying quite, or by working the system in a way that benefits them somehow (thus finding a way to justify atrocity). Tough but quick read. Would recommend, but only to readers who are not in the least squeamish--this book will give you a stomach ache and play on your thoughts for awhile.
