nicolascoleman3 's review for:
American War
by Omar El Akkad
A really good depiction of the horrors of war set in a wonderfully detailed dystopian future.The kind of plausible fiction that if real life events play out in a certain way, this book could be comparable to 1984 in 2055. I would call it an attempt at prophetic science fiction well executed. The parallels between what present day America does to enemy combatants are unmistakable. It elicits "sympathy for the devil," in the form of a suicide bomber using weapons of mass destruction. It was powerful.
