Query: Inspiring on a personal level, important as history

One reviewer was disappointed that this book was depressing. But I don't know how you would expect it not to sometimes be depressing. After all, it documents the survival of a woman who was targeted by the government that killed more people than any government in the history of the world.However, it is also a remarkable story of survival and an interesting study of the behavior of people during a time of terrifying political upheaval. The author was remarkably clever and resilient in her responses to abysmal situations. I am not particularly confident that I would have made it under similar circumstances.
