informative reflective fast-paced

5.0

Very entertaining and I learned so much- his writing style is so engaging and the book doesn’t feel overly academic. I’m not sure why other reviewers seem to think this is a satirical piece… this is 100% not satirical, it’s quite literally a handbook to a successful coup. It introduced so many different parts of history and conflicts I knew very little about!
