This is an extraordinary history, on the same level as Shirer's Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. So many political portents in this book that make it super timely. Big-ass winter read; let's get to page 1,000.

The rest are footnotes. Much contemplation. Minor preview to what I might say: this is one of the greatest books I've ever read.

900 pages; we take a breath and get ready to summit this 8,000-meter peak. A colossally sad epic tale with too many parallels that seem to never end in history.

Getting so close to nailing this mammoth triumph. What a book!! An absolute shoe-in for my Silver Holy Grail and teetering to a very rare Golden one. Shirer, you absolute beast, I am humbled.

Really rolling along now. I'm finding this impossible to put down.
