Book Reviews of An Afghanistan Picture Show: Or, How I Saved the World
Book Review: Astounding
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't have much to say really, just that this book is rings with bold, naked, and humiliating truth and should be read by every American, especially those who step or even think of stepping off of their own shores. It's ridiculous that it's out of print. For anyone who has ever felt a desire to help another and is even dimly aware of the complex moral swamp "altruism" can be.
