seven years on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan working for the U.S. State Department. Upon
returning home  traveling throughout the United States to pay his respects to the dead and

of voices Iraqi  Afghan  and American taking readers across California and Fallujah  Khost and
Colorado. Along the way we meet generals  corporals  and captains  former Taliban fighters 
Afghan schoolteachers  SEAL teams  imams  and many Marines. When will these wars end? How will
they be remembered? Perhaps no one is better suited to tackle these important questions than
Weston. The Mirror Test is an unflinching look at warfare and diplomacy  and a necessary
reckoning with America s actions abroad.
