About Missionaries

Phil Klay's novel connects lives shaped by modern conflict, with Colombia at the center of a wider network of military and political relationships. Multiple perspectives complicate the distance between those who direct violence and those who live with its consequences.

Why I include it

Responsibility in interconnected wars extends the conversation beyond a single conflict. Missionaries is related reading for Ackerman’s work and Klay’s Redeployment.
