US refugees living in an unnamed nation at the start of the book take on low-wage jobs and are exploited and looked down upon by the locals. Among them is Ron Patterson, who is forced to relocate when that country enforces stricter immigration laws. He eventually ends up in another country, where an \u201cenclave\u201d of Americans, dubbed \u201cLittle America\u201d has been set up. There, rival militias of American refugees are determined to carry on their domestic conflict abroad and we hear about the horrors both sides of the war perpetrated at home \u2014 which are very familiar to the crimes committed by the US and its allies across the world, namely the atrocities at the Abu Ghraib jail in Iraq.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
