I struggle to give a 3 or 4 stars for this book. I read and heard so many stories, and watch movies like Revolution of our times. If we want to just even cut and paste the events in the 2 chaotic years, it can easily be 2000 pages. 3 stars is because it is a very little bit of some comments, feelings for some people involved in this history. But the big picture is far more complicated and giant in scope. It also doesn't have a chronological flow on the whole time line. Since I am fully knowledgable, I treat this as like interviews from various person. 4 stars because these are easily some history that will be suppressed, forgotten so many one trying to document down what is happening, even though it is only a portion of that, as far as it is not distorted, we should support that.
