You have Clare Daley's chapter to look forward to at the end. She's less rushed in the longer, written form than in the one or two minute bursts they allow her in the parliament but oh boy, she is just as vituperative. She absolutely annihilates Von Der Leyen and I actually learned quite a few things about that maniac. Daley detests her with good reason.

Excellent book but as you say, tough going in places. "Just like that" was one of the most painful things I've ever read and really puts you in their place where death and destruction can just rain down on you at any time from anywhere for no reason.
