A review by amberfinnegan
Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield by Jeremy Scahill
5.0
This was an amazing read. Jeremy talked in depth about the covert wars the US government is engaging in, how Obama expanded the US covert war effort as opposed to retracting it after Bush, and the creation and subsequent overtaking of foreign tactical operations by JSOC.
Highly informative with quotes everywhere. His notes are also extensive. It is hard to finish this book and not wonder what kind of foreign policy we currently have in the United States, and what we need to change. With our current trend, the War on Terror is far from over, and will likely spread further across the world.
I recommend this book for anyone who is interested in current events, the path the United States is taking in foreign policy, and the 'threat' to American's safety. If you are unsure if you will learn from this book, watch the film first. It is also extremely well done, and gives a general overview of what the book covers.
