asimqureshi 's review for:
American War
by Omar El Akkad
A surprising Dystopia by Omar El Akkad, presenting a view of the US over 50 years from now that is in the midst of its second Civil War. El Akkad does an incredible job of using anxieties of the contemporary world, and projecting them to their worst possible conclusion in the future. The book is well written and has sufficient intensity to warrant inclusion among Sinclair Lewis' 'It Can't Happen Here' and Philip Roth's 'The Plot Against America' - except perhaps the violence of El Akkad's world is at a completely different level.
