I’ve restarted some chapters because he may think this book is riveting…
It’s always fun to read accounts of events that aren’t officially history yet but haven’t fully faded from the plane of current events.
That said, this reads (sounds) like a cheap thriller- not as a serious series of events that led to the death of many thousands of people. Maybe it’s the narrator?
The narrator is overdramatizing.
