No.2: Women Are Casualties of Their Birthplace
I found this chapter compelling because it was interesting to read from a sociocultural viewpoint. In light growing up in rape culture, and factoring in our current political predicaments with the #metoo movement and recent abortion laws it was hard to read and not think about how the superiority of the male sex is cross cultural.
No.1: You will Die Tonight
I found this chapter compelling for the shear intensity of it. While that is a big part of what made the chapter, what I found most interesting is her composure and everlasting integrity. Even with horrifying things happening to her she still is respectful of others and their culture regardless of what happens.
Addario manages to capture not only the horror of war but the individuality of those who fought it. Describing her time in captivity and how different soldiers showed kindness, while others did not. She quotes, after being beaten and violated, "These men were the epitome of evil". Not to long after she writes "They had kindness in their eyes."
As far as my favorite photo, there is only one in this chapter depicting the four of them and the Turkish Ambassador to Libya in Tripoli
