⭐️ DNF. Not a bad story, and well-written; but definitely not the time to be reading about Putin and his rise to autocratic ruler!

⭐️ DNF @ ~20%. Nothing really wrong with the story; I just wasn’t in the right head space for it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ VERY information-dense, but an excellent source of information. Well-written, with a nice balance between the “how we got here” (Roberts) and the strategy/tactics that influenced the ultimate outcome of each conflict.
