Loubna Mrie's candid and absorbing memoir, 'Defiance,' is a stark reminder of the corruptions of power, the uncertainties of revolution and the frequent viciousness of human nature.
I go back and forth reading old classics and newer nonfiction.
I've recently completed The Old Man and the Sea, The Wild Blue by Ambrose, and Destiny of the Republic by Candice Millard on the Garfield assassination.
