    It's a clickbaity title, and it's disappointing to see people engaging with it on the grounds of contrarianism, I guess.

    The truth is (which I would assume/hope many here agree with) is that the violence associated with the protests was very real. It was , however, greatly exaggerated by western media in many cases. This has been known for decades, I'm not sure what this book offers that would change that at this point (no, I'm not going to read the article)
