[ she gives a sort of self-deprecating smile and leans forward, looking back to the books in front of her. her expression upon looking at them has soured some; they are not satisfactory. ]
I'd started with the earliest history books I could find, and was moving now to more recent events. I thought if I could understand the history and the geopolitics at play here, I could assimilate better. But in the face of everything that needs to be done, it seems imprudent to wait until I have a more comprehensive understanding of this place to make myself useful.
Anyway, no one can agree on the facts of the events. If I wanted to get to the bottom of anything it'd have to become my whole dissertation. We don't have that kind of time.
