The book is $35 on Amazon. What it means is that no one will read it other than the intellectuals who make a living studying this stuff. 520 pages doesn’t help either. We are doomed for not studying history so $35 + shorter attention spans play into the hands of the manipulators of the id.

‘I devoured it on a flight from Houston to Indianapolis.’

520 pages read on a 2hour+ flight. Only the smartest amongst us can read that fast and absorb it. But then the subject of individual genocides is dry reading. I read half of Solginitzen’s(sic) book. Same with Anne Applebaum’s. The subject gets boring after awhile so if the 20th century was the worst the remaining 80 years in this century will dwarf the last one.

“We are doomed for not studying history”

No doubt. I graduated from high school in 1969. Even then the atrocities and many genocides of the first half of the 20th century were not taught.
