Rated The Dissidents: Autocrats! Vigilantes! Communists! And Cartoonists! 10/10

The book looks great and is up to the usual high standards set by [a:Derf Backderf|276252|Derf Backderf|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1531333251p2/276252.jpg]'s other work. Tons of research obviously went into it and it's lightly fictionalized (to give us a viewpoint character whose life is similar to [a:Derf Backderf|276252|Derf Backderf|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1531333251p2/276252.jpg]'s own ancestors (and whose career has parallels to his own)). I learned a lot of history from this.
