The Story:

This book was well written and seemed well researched however, I could not connect to a lot of it as it was literally before I was born (duh, history) and the events that did happen in my lifetime were not written with the same passion as the previous decades, which the author does explain. I also found the book hard to follow as an audiobook. The author often refers back to previous chapters and presents information in the form of lists which move quickly and can be easily missed or seem confusing. Overall it was an interesting read.
