Honestly not sure how I feel about this book. It was a great, instructive and well-written story... but it's a story in which the US do no harm, written by an American, and I tend to be very very suspicious of cold war / immediately post cold war stories that don't mention a US-backed anti-communist coup at some point. Maybe I'm worried for nothing, but I'm wary just on principle.

Excellent read with great insights, though. I just feel like I'm going to want to complement it with more stuff to make sure it's not just one account.
