Hooper’s War

“Peter Van Buren has an amazing ability to draw the reader into his stories. That the author of the definitive work on the debacle of our post-war reconstruction of Iraq has now set his sights on the debacle of our post-industrial America makes perfect sense. Many of the actors are the same, with the same intent.”
—Daniel McAdams, Ron Paul Institute
“Like his heroes in Steinbeck and Agee before him, the author takes us on an unflinching tour of America’s ‘broken places,’ yet true to his predecessors Van Buren never loses sight of his rough characters’ resilient humanity, their deeply held yearning for the grounding connection of family and community, their stubborn hope for a better life. An urgent, important story, and an incredibly necessary book.”
—James Spione, Academy-Award nominated documentarian, Incident in Baghdad and Silenced
