United States2 years ago - A Historical Treasure
Listened all the way through in March 2022, and it’s still totally relevant. An illuminating account that captures the exhilaration of the revolution. The numerous interviews with a range historically important Tunisians were the highlight. Recommend to anyone hoping to understand the modern politics of the Middle East or the sociology of revolution.
