redbecca 's review for:
American War
by Omar El Akkad
A very interesting and beautifully crafted experiment. Will Americans see the actions of people in war-torn countries such as Syria, Iraq, and Palestine in more human and complex terms if they imagine the familiar events described in the news in a local context instead of seeing them as something "foreign"? More than just a tale of red state/blue state polarization resulting in civil war, the story places the conflict in global terms, commenting on how global superpowers exacerbate conflicts.
