4.0

Was a short quick book with a lot of heavy concepts such as where power lies in a community (where ever the community thinks the power lies), us vs them (is the us the people we know of the people who are “like us” - same religion same color etc), hypocrisy of ideological fanatics (socialists who scorn the workers, religious adherents who commit violent acts).

It is a gruesome book, with plenty of tws necessary,but does a very good job of humanizing a historical moment.
