Green zone Quote by David Mitchell
““Through the window I looked across the oil-black Tigris at the Green Zone, lit up like Disneyland in Dystopia. I thought about J.G. Ballard's novel High Rise, where a state-of-the-art London tower block is the vertical stage for civilization to unpeel itself until nothing but primal violence remains.””
![“One book that I heard was circulating the Green Zone was "Bureaucracy Does Its Thing" by Robert Komer , who worked for President [Lindon] Johnson in Saigon. This book is about the inevitably of screwing up when a country takes on a war with so little understanding of the country they are fighting.” quote by George Packer](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/49e/george-packer-2917_book_one-book-that-i-heard-was-circulating-th_474756.jpg)
