    A Fable of America's Failure in the Middle East
  

*by H***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2017*

This book functions on two levels.  On the first level, it is a Philip Dick-like fable that takes place against the backdrop of a dystopian near future when global warming has caused the inundation of America's coastline and North and South battle it out over the issue of fossil fuel.  I found the second level more profound and more disturbing: El Akkad turns the tables on American policy in the Middle East and asks Americans how they would feel should the excesses that America has visited on the region--from interventions and civilian "collateral damage" to using the region and its peoples as pawns in a global struggle for hegemony--be visited on them.  Rather than Palestinians and, more recently, Syrians spending their lives as refugees incarcerated in camps, American citizens, residents of the South, are so interned, dividing their camps into familiar geographic units (Alabama, Mississippi, etc.), much as Palestinians have done to ensure they do not lose track of home.  And just as the United States bears more than a bit of responsibility for the use of poison gas in the region under Saddam Hussein and Bashar al-Asad, the Bouazizi Empire--named, in an ironic twist after the produce vendor whose public suicide ignited the Arab Spring--bears a similar responsibility for what it does to ensure its global position.  Told from the vantage point of a young girl who becomes increasingly complicit in the horrors she experiences as the war leaves her no choice, El Akkad's book is pitch perfect for the tragedy of the contemporary Middle East.

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2018*

I am an idiot, but y'all should be very careful not to follow my example. If you search for and click on the American War novel in english (as you'd expect), then click on Kindle version, it becomes...an Italian version.This is a huge bummer, unless you notice and/or read fluent Italian, neither of which are true for me.
