It helps a *ton* in terms of learning the basics of these different uprisings across South and Southeast Asia, but, it has this very weird thing he tries to do to "link" them together, called the "eros effect" (apparently based on Herbert Marcuse?), which made no sense to me at all. Like, by the end it was kind of tiring (I guess I'm very biased here as a materialist?) to keep hearing about how all these uprisings and revolutions happened basically because there was something "in the air"...
