⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A harsh, unsettling nonfiction by journalist Omar El Akkad, drawing on his personal and professional experiences, offering a devastating critique of Western ideals—freedom and justice—and the hypocrisy of supporting inhumane wars and mass violence. “An eighteen-month-old with a bullet wound to the forehead. Maybe the sniper was aiming elsewhere. Maybe there’s some explanation. Maybe it was necessary.” There is no explanation. It was not necessary. We cannot rationalize the unjustifiable.
