Emergency Sex (and Other Desperate Measures): True Stories from a War Zone by Heidi Postlewait, Andrew Thomson, Kenneth Cain

5.0

I found this story to be rather depressing, but at the same time I was so glad that they actually wrote about their experiences - yes, it's non-fiction! This book actually made me rethink the way I have always felt about war and peace and all of the above, which is no mean feat. I have always been staunchly against bombing the shit out of cities just to get at some bad guys...but having read this book, I am now thinking it probably would have been preferable for the US to do just that instead of turning tail and running, and letting millions of civilians be chopped to bits as a result. Of course, if snipers can be used, that would be my preference. ;) But anyway...I recommend this book to anyone and everyone!
