I had read the beautiful "Land of forgetfulness" and I was not disappointed by it. She has a writing that is like no other, a sense of introspection that it puts in the great history. I highly reccomend this book to all the revolutionaries apprentices, those who advocate the diktat of the proletariat, because it describes in minute detail the process that starts from the beautiful utopia and commitment, a violent totalitarian regime, unjust, serving the wealth of a handful of selfish and cruel rulers. This relentless mechanics can be broken down to all such regimes, and there are many, USSR, China, many examples in Africa, Argentina, ... The same causes produce the same effects. The man he wants to serve his people is always overtaken by the intoxication of power. To meditate to ensure control the use made by our political leaders of the mandates we entrust them.
