Very compelling.
It is not an easy read. Partly because of the amount of detail and research. Partly because it is about the horrible deaths and suffering of children.
However it is an important book.
As Americans, we too often forget the price that was paid to make us the super power we are. We also too often listen to people who demonize our ancestors, who were really just poor people trying to survive and make a better life for their children.
