spacemanchris 's review for:
American War
by Omar El Akkad
I thought this was going to be a stark look at a possible future for America. Turns out it's just a stark look at the reality of how a kid can grow up to be a terrorist. I suspect the radical right wing will totally miss the point on this book, but if they read it at all they'll just ironically agree with the freedom fighters that they'd usually dismiss as terrorists.
This is a cleverly written book with a not so subtle subtext. I hope that anyone who reads it will be given a better appreciation of why not everyone in the world sees the United States as the greatest country in the world, whether or not their President is a raving lunatic.
