Can't remember exactly how I even found out about this book--probably thru another Goodreads search or something. Anyway I read some of the reviews which enticed me to borrow the book and read it. What a story! What a life! Thank you Mr. Unger for your exemplary historical-made-very-interesting writing skills--you kept me reading "just one more page, just one more page." If only our history textbooks in school could have been so engrossing rather than just bland, dry factual paragraphs. Mr. Unger brings history to life! (and made me ashamed of my country that they cheated this man out of his due! perhaps Lin-Manuel Miranda could make something of this in the future?)
