Are we as Americans really that sheltered and that far removed that we have no idea what horrors actually take place in other countries, natural or man-made?
Some of the things I read in this book opened my eyes to a lot of the horrors that less fortunate people experience on a normal basis. The worse we've probably seen is a homeless person standing on the corner. To have to envision a makeshift hospital full of thousands of dying patients, there's no words to adequately explain the raw emotions I felt.
On the flip side, it's not too often that we get to see the Other side, the reason behind why terrorists do what they do. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a heart (literally!), and especially to those who want to invoke social change.
