With not a little irony I have Pres Orange to thank for reading this. It was an easy and fluid read. The writting felt much more contemporary than other things I have read from the same time period. His insights were incredible. It was easy to see how his theories applied to other dark times in history. We need to remember, so we do not repeate.
