It's a really great read about a time in history that most people don't know about. She weaves the stories of a number of folks that no one remembers to create a compelling, interesting story everyone should know, and, of course, an important lesson for now.

I highly recommend this - especially if you are a fan of history, and good explainers on historical events. I really enjoyed it. I listened to it, which was also enjoyable, as Rachel Maddow narrates it, but I'm sure it's a good read, too.
