The Forever War: Behind Enemy Lines

     War divides us. In the perpetual chaos, lines are blurred between what is morally correct and incorrect. Enemies--who would've been best of friends under different circumstances-- are entangled in bitter turmoil.

These are the ingredients which continue to fuel the on going conflict with America and Islamic fanaticism. As such, author Dexter Filkins gives us a telling glimpse from the enemy's perspective.

Talk soon,
