Rezension zu „Long Time Passing: Mothers Speak about War and Terror “
Susan Galleymore has given us an indispensable perspective on the wars that have laid waste to Iraq, Afghanistan, and the surrounding countries. Thanks to Long Time Passing, we can now see past the abstract policies and patriotic rhetoric into the lives of those for whom none of this is either abstract or rhetorical. Out of the enormous damage come the voices of mothers whose children have been lost or damaged showing us the wastage from their front row seat and sharing their endless loss. Their need to speak is compelling and none of us can afford not to listen. -- David Harris, Journalist and author of Our War: What We Did in Vietnam and What It Did to Us, Random House Long Time Passing is a heartfelt and gut-wrenching account - and a must reading for anyone wanting to understand the effects of modern war. -- Andrew J. Bacevich, author of The Limits of Power: The End of American Exceptionalism A collection of narratives and reports that reveal in powerful detail the experiences of women struggling for survival amidst war and occupation. A gripping and compelling read. -- Michael Parenti, author of Contrary Notions and The Culture Struggle
