History is a silent record of people who could not leave, it is a record of those who did not have a choice, you cannot leave when you have nowhere to go and have not the means to go there, you cannot leave when your children cannot get a passport, cannot go when your feet are rooted in the earth and to leave means tearing off your feet. 

Jesus. This book will cut off your air supply. The paragraph structure forces your eyes to keep moving from left to right and sooner or later you'll feel the panic start to set in.
