Good read
Really good book, very interesting. I would point out that the book is littered with grammatical errors. On quite a few pages in later chapter’s, particularly, the letter “F” is missing from a lot of words. Example the word might be “five” but it’s written as “ive” doesn’t take away from it being a very well researched book though
