The Forever War by Pulitzer Prize winner Dexter Filkins offers a different persepctive on the conflict going on the in Middle East. For the parts I've read, Filkins has a mix of both 'action' stories and candid interview pieces.
The parts depicting 'action,' so to speak, while not nonchalant about the acts being depicted, it states them very frankly, almost as if he is used to seeing such acts, like the people who live in the region, and are not overly bothered by it, at least openly. The interviews depict the interviewees in a matter that isn't exactly sympathetic, depending on the person, but showing a more human side to people than the media generally shows.
So far so good, and I can't wait to read more. So I think I'll go do that now.
