Two chapters tonight, couldn't help myself. And I missed a night or two of reading this over the weekend so consider it catching up. Still really enjoying it, but it has gotten slower. Luckily I'm enough of a nerd that the pure history of it is enough to keep me hooked lol

Ive been doing a chapter a night of this but the chapter for tonight was simply too short and I had to keep reading so I am now going to bed much later than I should but it was worth it im loving this book. It is making me feel crazy that I had never heard of any of this before but it's a great story and truly adds so much more depth to my understanding of cold war era history

One of the most gripping and vivid non-fiction books I've ever read. It makes it so easy for you to get swept up in the history and enjoy it as a great story in its own right. Also just genuinely impressive how much detail Simon Hall managed to dig up and fit in.

This is the book that was gifted to all Macalester International Studies graduates this year. I'm hoping to finish it this Summer as a kind of final homework assignment. I've only gone through the prologue and chapter one but I'm so excited for it already, it was a great pick from the department I think
