As everyone here has said, this is a really great biography. My favourite part of the book is when her four year old daughter comes to visit her in prison, and tells her mother she hates him. It also taught me a lot about the big bad old United States (e.g. the 13th amendment). I think she gives balanced viewpoints on political issues, never demonising the enemy more than strictly necessary. I would, however, have wanted to know what happened between her going underground and getting arrested, as well as how she escaped to Cuba. Overall a great book
