Sartre is making a case that the US was conducting a genocide against the Vietnamese during the Vietnam War. It eerily mirrors the current US-Israel love affair. It has made me reflect strongly on the narratives I was taught in school I.e.: the US wanted to stop the spread of communism, and yeah, it was a bad ‘war’ because the soldiers were fighting a losing battle. This chapter has challenged my education.

As an aspiring writer, I am finding immense value in his words on writing:“[Literature] is a critical mirror… after that, people can look at each other face to face, and act as they want.” “A man carries a whole epoch within him, just as a wave carries the whole of the sea.”
Writing must “… reveal, demonstrate, demystify, and dissolve myths and fetishes in a critical bath.” Next is his take on Freud.
