I read this earlier this year but not a lot of the details about it stuck (in the middle of reading something else or I would have re-read to be more a part of this ).

:gamer-gulag:

About the only thing I can remember was that, for the most part, the writing style was accessible. It was less than a few hundred pages that read pretty quickly. (the copy I downloaded was missing a few pages and had at least two different sections where several pages were in the wrong order that threw me off for a while.)

Though there were parts where Parenti went off into the weeds and left my baby brain behind when talking about some threads of case/effect in history.

The longer foot notes almost needed footnotes :dean-smile: because I'm so lacking in historical education that I got lost. But not any worse than when I read Conquest of Bread.
