Rewriting history
A friend recommended this and when I finally ordered it I was quite apprehensive. The genre is not my usual bag and I often struggle taking in lots of historical information.

However, the writing flows very well and feels not too dissimilar to a story. I like that there are references in the book with small links to them so you know it is truthful. So much work has gone into this and you know that Hallie Rubenhold really has a passion for this subject.

The stories are so sad, I think the author does a good job of remaining objective other than the last chapter. It really brings out the victims stories and changes the narrative of the story behind them.

At points there are a lot of characters and names to keep hold off. Sometimes the new characters are just introduced and I was left thinking "who" until a few pages later.
