3.5 ☆
very much the kind of book i came to expect from lindqvist: using literature and personal anecdotes to paint a picture & teach the reader some history, rather posing questions than answering them. it's the kind of book that is designed to make you think for yourself, so i wouldn't recommend going into it expecting to simply go out on the other end with fully-formed views. the idea of using a sort of "choose your own adventure" type of narrative was interesting, letting one physically feel how all the events are intertwined: the fragments are put together in chronological order, but you're reading them according to the author's instructions.
numerous times he uses isntreali thinkers & authors to showcase a point, which i absolutely wasn't a fan of. especially when it's describing a very specific point of view on warfare without a mention how it clearly stems from the zionist idea of violence.

"not the translator of this book feeling the need to put down a footnote like, well ACTUALLY it’s worth mentioning that north korea invaded south korea and THAT’S how the war started"
