I appreciate that Baird included the medical reports because they provide important context for her father's manuscript. I would have preferred more commentary on the unreliability of a manuscript written months after events in many cases. It seems as though readers are being asked to take Dr. Baird at his word, which of course we cannot do. I have no doubt that he was subjected to very inhumane and cruel conditions; however, there were many times throughout his manuscript when I questioned his version of events. I was expecting many more notes at the end such as dates of interviews and details, commentary on the process of obtaining these records, authors of the medical records... In my opinion, Baird asks for too much trust from her readers without proper support or citation.
