Beneath a Ruthless Sun

The author has clearly done a buttload of research and, irritatingly, his determination to include all of it interferes with the narrative; I suspect many will give up on the book in frustration. But about halfway through, it becomes quite engaging and the story really starts to flow. Unfortunately, being non-fiction, its a truly depressing tale, full of nasty men who wield power cruelly and never get punished for being such thorough assholes. A worthy read but full of weltschmerz and reasons for outrage.

I recieved a free copy of this book from some publisher for review.
