"Because it is the middle of the empire that must look upon this and say: Yes, this is tragic, but necessary, because the alternative is barbarism.The alternative to the countless killed and maimed and orphaned and left without home without school without hospital and the screaming from under the rubble and the corpses disposed of by vultures and dogs and the days-old babies left to scream and starve, is barbarism."

A heavy, compelling, and carefully crafted introduction. I’m very curious how the rest of the book balances the author’s personal experiences, political theory, and global history.

have to add this book to my purgatory shelf because i got too busy to finish it and now the wait times are so long 😪
