I picked this up agfter listening to The Missing Cryptoqueen and its languished on my Kindle for a while, so it was about time I got round to reading it. While I've already read about some of the things covered, there was more than enough that I didn't know. Even when covering controversial figures like Tommy Robinson, Bartlett is non-judgemental and leaves it up to you to make up your own mind. He points out contradictions and hypocrisy across the board, not just with the people and movements he's covering. Some of his conclusions and thoughts are very insightful and left me pondering my own stance on some of these matters. Recommended.
