justlcruz 's review for:

American War by Omar El Akkad
5.0

An amazing tale that captures so much American history in a dystopian vision of the future. It begs us to listen to our better angels of unity and ignore divisive rhetoric against those different from us in order to use their unbelonging as proof of our belonging. There is also the reminder that war is hell and many people around the world are currently living in it everyday.
