American War by Omar El Akkad

4.0

It is a good book, but with no offense to the author, it was clearly written by someone not intimately acquainted with American Culture. There is few if any mentions of race in this book that takes place majority in the deep south of future america. I listened to the book on audible and the narration was spectacular. But I kept waiting for a discussion or mention of racial dynamics and politics. There was nearly none. This is very disappointing given how much I enjoyed the book and really left a large gaping void in my listen. I can possibly overlook this as its the future but no discussion of american politics is complete without inclusion of this aspect, especially when speaking of "Southern Heritage."
