American War by Omar El Akkad
4.0

4.5. Weird reading at the time of a pandemic and when the climate emergency is still not being dealt with as urgently as it should be. Feels like this is so close to something that could actually occur in the not too distant future. Really loved having a protagonist whose motives you could understand and it’s ok that you didn’t agree or particularly like her (also that it was a SHE). Few things about how it was written that I didn’t fully get on with that stopped me giving it a full 5 stars.
