Explore the unintended consequences of America’s War on Terror with Akbar Ahmed’s ‘The Thistle and the Drone’. This insightful book, perfect for readers of The Bookish Owl, reveals how the global fight against terrorism has inadvertently worsened the relationship between central governments and tribal societies. Through forty detailed case studies, Ahmed argues that this center-periphery conflict, amplified by U.S. involvement, fuels ongoing violence. Discover how drone strikes and suicide bombings have made daily life a ‘9/11’ for those on the fringes, impacting everyone from schoolchildren to worshippers. A vital read for understanding the complex realities of modern conflict and its global reach.
