It was a haunting novel about a young boy in Afghanistan who becomes radicalized and drawn into tribal warfare, told from the Afghan perspective. The speaker found it a remarkable exercise in empathy.
The first book I read from today's guest, Elliot Ackerman, was called Green on Blue, which it was a really haunting novel.
He really wrote a book from the perspective of a young boy in Afghanistan who becomes sort of radicalized and drawn into the tribal warfare there.
It's a remarkable exercise in empathy, seeing the conflict that he was in from a perspective so different than his own.
To save his brother, Aziz must join the special lash car. A US-funded militia. Aziz rises through the ranks. Aziz becomes mired in the dark underpinnings of his country's war, witnessing clashes between rival Afghan groups, what U.S. soldiers called Green on Green attacks. And attacks on U.S. forces by Afghan soldiers, violence known as Green on Blue.
It's just a great book.
