A review by fsethompson
American War by Omar El Akkad

5.0

I honestly don't have words to describe how effective this book is in portraying the emotional toll of war and the processes of radicalisation children in war zones are prone to. I cannot recommend this book enough.
(To be entirely honest the main reason I wanted to leave a review was because of how funny I thought it was to see people in the reviews section so scandalised at the book's anti-American slant. Like yeah mate... the author was a Guantanamo Bay correspondent, what were you expecting?)
