Well researched and well written. But it’s obviously written by a white male boomer from a priviledged background, so I would not recommend reading it if you were born after 1975. The writers views on men and women and the world in general, are old fashioned in my view.And no, that wasn’t intentionally done because the book takes place in the forties.
