clevine 's review for:
American War
by Omar El Akkad
Climate change and fossil fuels prompt a new civil war. Virus kills millions. (Written before Covid). The story of one family and what war prompts people to do. Definitely parts symbolic of Civil War and how the south’s narrative sustains them. (Wars fought w guns, peace fought w narrative). But also echoes of Israeli/Palestine conflicts- West Bank/Gaza, holocaust and orders people follow, radicalizing terrorists, etc. kind of wish I knew how the Blue and Purple citizenry felt about the war and wish there had been some more insight into what was happening prior.
