Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

Strange Days in Afghanistan and Pakistan
Oct 29, 2016wasplight rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
Brilliant film and, although different, excellent book. These explorations of the personal and political complexities of Afghanistan and Pakistan were funny and illuminating. The movie took a number of liberties but I enjoyed it as much as the book. The author was able to maintain political neutrality which I would hope for in a journalist while illustrating the failure of local leaders and the international community in Afghanistan and Pakistan. She also shows her personal growth in light of friendship and dating challenges in a war zone and vastly different culture. I liked it for these reasons and for the clarity of her writing style
