Every Man In This Village Is A Liar: An Education In War (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
I agree with Susie Linfield's Washington Post review that Megan is a little addicted to ornate, sometimes incomprehensible metaphors but this is a fine book. Megan has a point of view that few have. She's experienced war up close and she's spent enough time in the developing world to understand. Just about every page has a quote worth pondering. Some of it is brilliant. She is honest, raw, and she paid dearly for her education. Gotta respect her. Le témoignage bouleversant et éclairant d'une journaliste américaine sur la guerre au Moyen-Orient (Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Liban, Israël, Syrie). Toutes ses certitudes s'écroulent devant l'horreur de la guerre, elle ne peut plus rentrer dans son pays après avoir constaté de quoi est capable un gouvernement prêt à tout pour sauvegarder ses alliances. Entre politique et émotion, nous pouvons sentir l'horreur qui règne sans partage dans cette région. Le pire est la morale de l'histoire... Le sang appelle le sang, les morts crient vengeance, et sur la terre encore gorgée de sang ne poussent que les germes de la prochaine guerre.
What do You think about Every Man In This Village Is A Liar: An Education In War (2010)?
Powerful. Undeniably powerful. Gripping. Dark. Crushingly sad. But at times very beautiful.
—Janet
Could not finish this book. Too graphic for a non-fiction book for my tastes.
