I wasn't expecting to find humor in a book about such a serious subject. And yet, between the author including his academic wife's appropriate criticism, and his rebuttals to her comments, I was consistently amused while learning the history I have overlooked and misunderstood.  

It went back to the library automatically. 

Honestly the only reason I deducted a 1/2 ⭐️ is because it took me so long to get through but I must stress this is not at all the thought of the book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, I just found it hard to find the time to read it in what has been a pretty hectic time for me personally. It is very well written and super readable. Coming from someone who has never successfully completed a work of non-fiction until today, that’s some pretty high praise. Just read it honestly it will open your eyes, enrage you, and educate you.
