Rolling Blackouts: Dispatches from Turkey, Syria, and Iraq by Sarah GliddenMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The reading of this book has been a long time in the making for me. I started it several months (years?) ago and just now finished. Perhaps because of this or perhaps because of the content itself, the book was at times confusing, and at times frustrating. But, in a strange way it was also completely compelling. Why did we go to Iraq? What did we hope to accomplish? How can we rectify all of the damage that has been done? How would an American soldier feel about seeing the results of what the US did there? And, as always, is there ever to be any solution to the problems of the Middle East?
The art work is interesting and appropriate. I would not have recognized Jimmy Carter from her drawings, but that is OK. The muted colors work.
