Missionaries by Phil Klay
3.0
adventurous dark tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Author does a good job of describing the very complex modern warfare system that the U.S. promotes. Perhaps the title alludes to the missionary-like way the U.S. military trains other countries (Afghans, Colombians) to fight who they deem are bad guys.
