Deaths of Others

This book is terrifying. You can't worry about what you don't count and it's a tradition that Tirman connects through copious research and stats throughout America's wars.

To be glib, it makes you realize how the action movies and news coverage of your youth all tied into a relatively blatant attempt by US political and military policy to dehumanize civilians of other countries and thereby reduce how seriously their deaths were treated by a country that styles itself as a city upon a hill.
