Marisa’s Reviews > Look at the U.S.A.: A Diary of War and Home > Status Update

A brutal, honest, and necessary book. This starts with small snippets of time spent as a war photographer in the middle east. Seeing how little cruelties are almost…casual…and how they are encouraged is terrifying. But when you have become a small monster within the maw of a larger and more powerful monster, I’m not sure what other path there is when you’re at that point. America is not a heroic nation.
