Review:
This book is only structurally about the squad. It is mostly about the most recent phase of progressivism and is an extension of the author's prior work about the Rainbow Coalition. That is rather interesting on its own merits and is the basis of the recommendation, but if you are looking for a book about the squad, this is probably not it. Yes, they are mentioned, but this book only casually talks about how they interact with a few poignant scenes rather than an actual description of how they work together (if at all). Grim repeatedly reminds the reader that "The Squad" does not really exist and that the name came from a casual mention over twitter and does not really represent a group that coordinates. If that is fully true (which it may be), then this book is a true disappointment. It feels to me, however, that there is some truth to the name and that this book simply does not have the insight to identify the nature of the group.
