An amazingly detailed deep powerful story with amazing characters and a plot line that might be hard to follow but is worth reading. I recommend this highly to everyone who has not gotten into this story line.(less)

My copy has notes, highlights and underlined passages all throughout it, and if its something you want to seriously think about you should do the same. It is difficult at points and you have to read it slowly to truly appreciate it while thinking deeply. Having said that though it is absolutely fascinating and amazingly thought provoking. I highly recommend it to everyone(less)

Do not expect this to be a straightforward history of the making of the atomic bomb. This takes bits and pieces from dozens of books on the making of the atomic bomb and sews it together like a frankenbook. Some parts are very interesting but it just makes the whole experience feel disjointed and hard to really delve into(less)

Is very thick and slow at points but the amount of amazing and shocking information is unparalleled. The level of detail on the stories of starvation throughout the Ukraine, the Great Purges and Terror and especially how both Hitler and Stalin regimes caused such devastation when they were allied almost more then when they were opponents. If your a history lover I recommend it, just push through the slow parts.(less)

All I wish is that it explored the topics in greater detail - it's a fantastic review of the utopian writers in contrast to those who influenced our republic. I highly recommend it!(less)

A good romp through his world and his development, which was similar in some way to mine. It's a good taste and something I recommend as a first 'conservative book' to get you started on where to go from there. Highly recommended(less)

Well written though at times can be bogged down in minutia. The pacing is outstanding, the level of detail and viewpoints are incredibly well done. I highly recommend it(less)
