Babel, or The Necessity of Violence

A very well-written and thought-provoking read. The deep delve into political matters in the 1800s, as well as the discrimination of different races, were done very delicately but still got the intended affect across.
A slow beginning as set up happened, but once it picked up it was really difficult to put down, despite how difficult some of the topics were..
This book both destroyed me and helped me.
