Lots to love about this book, I especially liked that it was not quite in chronological order of events, it allowed it to have a better rhythm.
This is not a rose tinted glasses view either, it does speak to shortcomings and beliefs that are considered controversial or plain wrong in modern times.
However the accomplishments are so vast it’s hard to believe someone could be so relentless.
